Happy. So Very, Very Happy.



Recommended Posts

I am just so glad that I had this operation. I have not felt this happy for years. I find myself just sitting here smiling. I wake up smiling. I get dressed smiling. I drive to work singing my heart out, happy as a pig in muck. I am usually a happy person, but this happiness, this absolute joy? This is new. I am just so, so grateful that I had this opportunity to transform my life and improve my health.

Despite the heartburn, the Constipation, the pain of a pulled stitch and the full time job that is keeping hydrated.

I am just so damn happy!

Had to share with all of you as I am driving my family crazy :-)

I'm 15 days postop and had some "what in the heck did I get myself into" moments early on. I quickly figured out they were only when I didn't have adequate pain control. That being said, I find my whole attitude about life is much improved. I find myself thinking how happy I am and how excited I am for this journey and for what lies ahead in the future. I am so very happy and excited I had this surgery!

I totally agree with you, LouiseC - the positives SO outweigh the negatives... it's a no-brainer! :D

I am only four weeks out but can't believe this addiction to the mirror that I developed post-surgery while before I could barely stand by the mirror.

I love every bit of this thus far.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
