Sannah,

I know exactly how you feel, i was sleeved Nov 28 and I have a 14mo old and felt so helpless! All he wanted was for me to do everything with him, I felt so guilty. But now my Dr. cleared me and I can pick him up, cuddle and play with him. It's all worth it. So far i have lost 25lbs since my surgery. Good luck!!!

It's funny that you say that bc I look now how I always looked growing up until I got pregnant at 19, then again at 20, but still was only about 40 pounds overweight until I had my son and dilated cardiomyopathy in 2009 and the swelled up like a balloon. I am not pregnant in that first picture but everyone thinks I am. It's great to look like me again.

Hello,

Not sure where I left off. But I was re-admitted to hospital for Fluid on my heart and severe dehydration. The two stents are making it hard to consume anything and keep it down.

My heat is healing. The cardiologist did a lot of testing and is confident my heart was/is inflamed due to surgery.

I am just getting settled in back home.

I have been trying remain positive, but have times When I just cry.

I am on a twenty day countdown until the 25th On this day I will get my stents REMOVED or REPLACED!! What a nightmare if they have to be replaced.

I hope all is clear because the anti nausea is making my vision very blurry.

Thank you for all the heartfelt words. You guys lift me up!! Thanks you SO much.

Best,

Sannah

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
