I'm Just Saying.......



Recommended Posts

7.5 weeks out, 37 lbs down and 2.5 lbs from onderland....this is f'ing awesome! I feel great...I walk faster, my confidence, is back, I can wear my size 16 jeans, my depression has lifted....the world feels brighter....I feel like I GOT THIS! My sexy is back as once again....I am snapping necks when I am out and about........got my mojo back!

So....why did I in one day consume 1300 calories when in all the days prior, I could only get in 700! WTF! In my old life prior to my sleeve..,,this was my cycle....lose weight, get my mojo back, gain weight, get depressed, go in to hiding, shut the world out. I woke up this morning....acknowledged that the old self is still lurking and that alter ego has got to be control. I have to be on my game at all times....otherwise, she is coming back.

I'm just saying.....she's being checked and called out. I ain't NEVER going back again. I used my fat self as my crutch for many things......now it's time to stand strong and work to be all I can be! What an amazing journey I have just embarked on.....I am running on to see what the end will be....so glad I took the chance....went through the pain....cause it made me stronger, wiser and more self aware! High five and two snaps.....I got this! :)

      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!!
