When your pants get longer because your butt is smaller

Lol! I totally was aloof and kept thinking companies kept making short pants! :) :)

My mother, who was sternly against the surgery and says nothing on progress or anything... finally breaks her silence and says "wow, you really do look thinner" (then quickly changes topic

LOL, :lol: no longer LMFAO

The words of an RN on your first week back after 2 1/2 months is

" cancer???" My response was "Really, you gonna go there shrew"

Sorry I lied about that, I think I said "Shrek"

...the day you can finally pull your pants and belt up to an actual, honest-to-goodness waist! And it turns out to be more comfortable than wearing them under your belly like you did for all those decades. And you don't have to keep pulling your pants up every five minutes because your stomach is pushing them down. In other words.... When you're no longer shaped like one of those blue bulbs used for sucking the stuff out of a baby's nose. :o :rolleyes:

When we went to a trampoline park and never wondered if I was too heavy to jump. Wasn't winded. Had a great time jumping!

When your coworker says, "girl I don't even recognize you from behind anymore" and others say, "yeah I thought we had a new nurse working here until you spoke to me. "

      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!!
