I used to hate the honesty of children....



Recommended Posts

So I have had two very surprising comments from two young men who I didn't think would ever notice.

My step-son, whom I haven't seen since Christmas (I was sleeved Dec 29) came over last weekend. I was in the kitchen when he first arrived and he walked in, looked at me confused, and told me I looked a lot smaller. Then he proceeded to point out the areas that I have lost weight in. Bless his heart. This is the same child who 3 years ago told me outright that I was fat.

Then today, my sister-in-law and I go to the same gym. I went to say hello to my neice and nephews who were going to the daycare. I said hello to the oldest who is 10 and he also looked at me very puzzled for a few moments and then told me I looked a lot skinnier. Aww... my new favorite nephew.

Aside from the other comments I have received from church members and such, there is nothing like the honesty of a child. When it comes to being fat or skinny, they well tell you like it truly is. That certainly was motivation for my hour and half workout today.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
