You Know You're A Sleever When...



Recommended Posts

With each day that passes since my surgery on 8/1, I'm realizing that my life really, really, really is changing! Today i giggled at myself as I reflected on a few of the changes. Please feel free to join in!

You know you're a sleever when...

1. You look forward to eating your Gummy vitimins because it's almost like eating candy

2. You walk through the grocery store and nothing looks appealing

3. You get to the check-out at the grocery store and the only thing in your cart is Protein.< /p>

3. You can't find anything in your closet that fits and this makes you SMILE :Ds

4. You're thirsty but you can't drink because if you do you will have to wait 10 more minutes for lunch

5. You're panties don't slide down below your muffin top anymore

HAHAHA!!! What a crazy ride the last 20 days have been.

1. You order an appetizer portion of anything AND still need a "go" container.

2. You sometimes forget to eat because you're just not hungry any more.

3. You can handicap Protein Bars based on calorie count, carbs, and grams of Protein.< /p>

4. You know it's time to stop eating when your nose starts running, you sneeze, or some other really strange signal.

6. You're only eating 500 cals a day.

7. Sometimes you only eat Soup throughout the day.

8. You're addicted to your scale, and you giggle a little every time you step on it.

9. You ACTUALLY know what the meaning of VSG is.

10. You log your entire life onto MyFitenessPal every day.

WHEN:

...you're at a birthday celebration and even though you are the one slicing the cake for everyone,you don't want or eat any of it!

...you feel like a lion or tiger on the hunt or something because all you do is eat meat/protein.

...the scale you previously never owned, is now something you do morning, noon, and night. If it goes up, you have to restrain yourself from tossing it through the window.

...when you're in a nasty stall, you accuse your surgeon of being inept, and removing the wrong organ.

....you load your plate because you're ravenously hungry (it CAN happen;) ), only to take a few bites and declare how full you are and are nauseated by the site of the remaining food....

You look at the menu and decide what to order by what is the SMALLEST entree rather than the way you used to looking for the LARGEST entree.

You have little packs of nuts stored in your car, desk, purse and moms house, in case you get hungry and need a quick meal.

      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!!
