Sleeveme2011,

Check out my story, http://www.verticals...__1#entry141550, you'll find we have A LOT in common.

Right there with ya sister.

Next time you're aunt decides to make an abrasive comment, there's no reason for you to stoop to her level and be mean right back, I simply don't agree with that, but I would highly recommend that you show her this passage in the Bible....

“Do not judge so that you will not be judged” Matthew 7:1

This verse is not a warning against judging an action. It is a warning against self deception and hypocrisy.

Try that and then lets see how abrasive she is.....

Keep the faith!!! You're SOOOOO worth it!!!!!

People like your Aunt have to criticize others to make themselves feel better. Here's the worst part, when you lose all your weight and you are looking FAN-TASTIC, guess what? She is STILL going to find something to criticize, maybe you're having a bad hair day. Maybe your shirt has a few wrinkles, SOMETHING. You should make up your mind now that whatever she says in the future, is just her feeling bad about herself and reflecting it onto you, and don't take it personally. You will do great! I wish you lucksmile.gif

You are so right. For now it is either my weight, my hair, what color I choose for my hair, if I cook or not...etc. the list goes on. Thank you...I ready for my sleeve.

I'm never fast on my feet but it's too bad you wouldn't have said "you know, I've lost 19 pounds. I'm surprised you didn't notice since you seem to be the on who found it".

Maybe save that for later when you're really dropping like a rock.

LOL! That is so funny.

Thank you so much! Oh wow! I am sorry you went thru what you did growing up. I was never really small every so I have been the fat kid for a long timmmmmme. LOL! But the comments and what not get old. I have a brother that I hadnt seen in ages, saw him the other day and this idiot says "I see you arent pushing away from the table" I ignored him. Heck, my bro-n-law called me lazy today because I wasnt helping my hubby mow the yard.

I like the passage out of the bible. I pray a lot and I try to hold my tongue when dealing with people. I have a short temper and attitude and can say some things that might make your jaw drop. LOL! I am trying to work on that, but God knows it is hard.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
