You are a very pretty girl. You were pretty before you surgery. I hate when people tell me awww you have such a pretty face, so I would never say that!!! You just have a smile that seems infectious. Do you think your attitude has changed?

it has. but i dont know if its because of the weight loss or the betrayal of close friends when i was hospitalized from my leak. now, i keep my head up high which my on and off boyfriend of 10yrs feels im "full of myself". i guess hes used to me being insecure where now im not. he hates that i get attention from guys & feels like im "gassed because of it but thats false! those r his own insecurities playing tricks on him. i think ex friends are jealous because they suffer with weight issues and "look down" on weight loss surgery patients. if anyone thinks they are better than anyone, it would be them thinking they are better than us! i think they are just haters. then its ppl like that that make the "new jaz" come out & ill say things that make me sound cocky like "she wish she looked like me" etc. but its only because of the way "she"/they act. otherwise, i wouldnt say anything like that.

I have to admit I got a little teary eyed when I watched this because I know how much you struggled at first with your leak etc.and now to see the before and after and how far you have come along..it's really heart touching!! I'm so happy for you! You are doing amazing! I bet you feel amazing and you look amazing! It's sad that you have people who have tried to hold you down because of their insecurities and face it probably jealousy. I think WLS in general has been thought of as being the "easy way" out for so long that people just accept that. They don't understand it's not the easy way out. It takes work, and commitment, and not everyone can commit to it! You can and have! That just shows you're stronger than them!

      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!!
