Operation Skinny continues :)



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

Wow.. it has been a while since I have posted, or even visited.. but wanted to give an update :)

As of this morning I am 54lbs down from my day of surgery weight on June 9 .. 5 more days and it will be 3 mos for me! It has been a whirlwind of emotions for me since my surgery .. and I was really down on myself, and some ppl on this site really werent the most understanding. I no longer care about what those types of ppl have to say.. it doesnt phase me. You all have bitterness inside and I guess you have to let it out in some kind of way so whatever lets you sleep at night. None the less..... I am now happy to report that I have never been more happy and motivated!

I can eat what I want.. within reason of course.. and even if i want a cupcake, I can only have 2 bites! I LOVE IT :) Im in the gym 6 days a week and burning 700 calories each session.. and it is paying off wonderfully. I did go through about 4 wks of stall... which left me really discouraged, however.. in the week after that I lost 10lbs and have been losing since :)

Hope everyone is doing well and happy losing :)

      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!!
