Someone told me about this app and I have been so relieved to know a lot of y'all have the same concerns and thoughts that I do! It's a sense of understanding that I don't get from my fit, beautiful family and skinny friends. Among the handful of people I have told, MOST everyone I have told is very supportive... A few are not so much. It's crazy though, they are seeing it as loosing a drinking buddy or they say you are already gorgeous and you say you're happy.. but they have NO idea! I have been overweight since ten and scary enough I am comfortable within my skin and have confidence but do I feel completely confident naked NO! I want to be healthy though! I want to have a bunch of kids in the future and want to be able to keep up. I want be able to do extremely adventurous things! I have that side and try to do that stuff now... Fat girl problems! This is LONG! I get carried away! I will wrap it up! I have been having NIGHTMARES the past week about this surgery! That I forget to use the body wash and that I completely binge out and have a prisoner style last meal the morning of surgery and then tell the dr I haven't eaten and I wake up during surgery (I sleep walk so this is an actual fear of mine)! But yes, these dreams need to go! I'm nervous/excited! Tuesday will be here in no time!!!!!!

      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!!
