Hi CantBelieve_IdidIit!

Dont really know where to start, but I was always a big kid.

Used to play rugby and was a school swimmer (high school) was always big and muscular, till I went to the Army.

I had an operation on both my feet, due to injury, thus unable to walk for almost 8 mths in 2003.

Since den I've just been eating and eating and eating.

No exercise.... loads of alcohol and serious binge eating especially at night after 11pm.

I've put on heaps of weight and decided to have a VST this year because I felt I couldnt keep to dieting and exercise. And the VST went well on the 1st May 2012.

Since then I've lost alot of weight and am continuing to lose even more.

I've noticed my shoulders getting smaller... kinda like an "A" body shape, and decided to head to the gym last night, hoping to bulk up my shoulders before even more weight loss occurs.

I get sleeved in a week and my first trip will be to Singapore. What Hawker food could you eat 6 weeks out? I am thinking grilled stingray or Chili Crab would go down easy.

after 6 weeks ....

almost everything... just in very very very tiny portions and in a very very long time (chewing).

Spicy food is ok.... depends on how bad your acid reflux is ...

I respond quite well to spicy food ... but have heard from others who just cant take it.

Welcome to our little island :)

Wishing you a good one :)

      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!!
