-18Lbs A Week And 1/2 Out. 1St Pre Op



Recommended Posts

Today was my 1st pre op appointment. Fully dressed with shoes on and a new full head of Indian Remy weave.... I am down 18lbs. The doctor was not impressed as much as I was. He said sure I'm more like -20lbs but he could care less right now with my initial weight reduction. They took my weight, measurements, a few comparison labs, and vitals. He checked my balance, skin, incisions, pain level, mobility,mental health, and over all health. He was pleased with my Water, Fluid and Protein intake. I haven't lost really any of the muscle tone I had going into surgery. He encouraged me to step up to full liquids and mushy foods and begin exercising (not excessively...just walk faster and longer thank my usual 15 to 20 minutes a few times a day) to retain my lean muscles and to gradually step me up to pre surgery work outs. He said I was doing great and looked great. I won't go back for another month but his overall thing is nutrition...staying up on Vitamins, eating well and proportion, exercise. I dig that and all...but I was still geeked with my weight loss. I don't see where it came from but I'm glad its gone....FOREVER!!! There is no room in the inn for it to come back and live! I am thanking God in advance for continued healing, good health, and success!!! I feel great and I am sooooooo excited for the time ahead. I wish you all the best of all things good. Stay encouraged and lifted. Mwaaaahz!!!

      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!!
