BEFORE AND AFTER PICS 1 YEAR LATER



Recommended Posts

I remember thinking, will this work. Maybe I can do it on my own...I was terrified and excited at the same time. I had lost 12 lbs. prior to surgery and 18 lbs. on my own before that. In the before pics I'm wearing a size 14 misses Levis and XL tank, and in the after taken a few minutes ago, I'm wearing a size 4 misses Levis and S tank. I still have my muffins, but at least they are mini compared to last year AND I don't work out like I should. Anyhoo, I'm so glad I had the support that talked me in to going for it and here I am today and couldn't be happierbiggrin.gif

Thanks to ALL who have inspiried me on this journey love and blessings to ALLLLL!

Awww thanks coops! So sweet of you! OK I will look for the before and after thread :)

So far, so good. I think I finally caught the hang of maintaining (knock on wood lol)...I bounce from 145-148, today 147 and started my period today, that in itself is another huge miracle. Before I could easily gain 5-10 lbs. on my period, it still blows my mind.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
