I Think I Found My Transfer Addiction....



Recommended Posts

It's me! I have found myself doing all sorts of health&beauty things since I had my surgery. I'm a 26 year old guy that in the last week has gone to the spa for manicure, pedicure, facial, and massage. I bought all sorts of fancy face scrubs. I had a lady friend fix my straggly eye brows. Spent a ton of money on a fancy electric tooth brush and whitening things. And go to the gym every day. What the heck happened to me!?!?!? I guess I'm feeling better and way more confident and decided I need all of this??? I never would have done all this pre op lol! I can't help but to laugh at myself.

I have been thinking about that as I approach surgery, what will I do with my time and extra money whe I am not using it for food and drinks? ?? Sounds like you have found some healthy and beneficial addictions. Can't wait to start my own journey and feel like doing things to make me feel and even look better.

P.S. I wish I could get my husband to get a pedicure!

Not gonna lie, I secretly enjoyed it! It will definitely become part of a routine now! It's such a weird feeling to me of actually pampering and caring about yourself as weird as that sounds. But when I was over weight and unhappy all I wanted to do was get through my day and go home and wasn't overly concerned with the little appearance things.

Could be worse. At least it's not something that's detrimental to your health. Congrats on the weight loss, and the ability to find something else that will keep you positive about your accomplishments! Cause when you look good, you feel good. :)

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
