i am sure we have at some point thru our journey have had something happen to ourselves that have made us feel good. I have had several so far.I was sleeved on Dec 8 and have lost 40 pounds since surgery and 29 before surgery . almost 70 pounds !!!!I would love to share a few moments with you and would love to hear the stories of others !!!!!!

1) a few years back i had bought about 10 bath sheets , just because i love to have one wrapped around me when i get outta the shower, lord knows ,a regular one sure dont fit !!i will be pitchin them all soon as a regular ol towel is beginning to work just fine !!!!:)

2)i am a hospice aide ...providing personal care for terminal patients. i had been taking Fluid pills and would have to use this lil ol ladies potty everyday.she had a commode riser on her potty with bars on each side . everytime i would sit, my big ol hips would squeeze against the sides and bruise . oh... how i hated that potty but didnt have a choice! well ....i cut back on my fluid pills since surgery and last week used her potty for the first time in months . boy oh boy!!! my butt fit that seat just fine !!!No more rubbing of my hips whatsoever !!!!....with an inch to spare !!!!

3)just yesterday my fiance yelled to me from the other room. he held up my new size 14 jeans and said ARE THESE YOURS?????I JUST PUT THEM ON AN THEY ARE TOOOOOO SHORT !!!! it really made my day! considering two short months ago i was a sz 22!!!

4) a month or so ago my mom had moved the buttons over on one of my winter coats , it was getting tooo big .actually i kinda forgot about it and this morning i pulled it out and holy smokes !!!!!It wraps around all the way to the middle of my back!!!!!!

those are just a few !!!Thought it would be fun to hear others !! :)

here is a pic of me just yesterday at 188.8 and the other is last year at 257 !!!!!post-47339-13813663647576_thumb.jpg

My feel good moments are when my mom walks behind me and starts laughing at my droopy pants when they used to fit even a week before! I'm no longer asked if I prefer a booth or table when we go out to eat and they sit us in a booth. Then while in the booth, I can turn sideways in it to talk to my husband face to face. My feel good moment is to hear someone say "I'm so proud of you!" My feel good moment is being able to help my husband load up our old couch and lift it over my head without any pain or struggle! No more back pain! It is truly amazing!! And my biggest, happiest moment is when I took a before and during pic of my progress at 70 pounds lost (and I'm down 83 pounds today!!!)

Mine was seeing the scale hit 299 (about 3 weeks ago). I'm 34 years old and have spent over half my life well over the 300 mark. Down 87 pounds in 4 months

      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!!
