8 MONTHS -90 POUNDS - YA!



Recommended Posts

8 months post-op on 6/11/13 - down 90 pounds. While this sounds like a lot, the loss has slowed down considerably the past 4 months, or so(down 2 up 1.5, down 3, up 1, etc., etc.) Since I've made it to onderland, its been hard to get below 190. Finally at 90 pounds lost total (since pre-op last August), weighin in at 188 on 6/11/13, I am nearing my 100 pound goal. Hope everyone is doing well. I feel and look younger than I have in years! It's been hard, but so worth it! Happy summer and last day of school (I work in an Elementary School office) - yipee! :)

I am a food addict. Post-op, I found holes in my day that I used to fill with my food obsession (cooking. Food shopping, reading recipes, searching on line for recipes, etc.) as well as eating way too much. Now I am focusing on doing stuff not stuffing me! It's very hard on days when I would typically turn to food for comfort. I really can't binge eat at all. When I eat too much, I'm very uncomfortable/in pain- it's how you feel you feel overfull and sick so you throw up, only you can't throw up, the stomach is too small and if wont let you purge. The food just comes up your throat-horrid! One day at a time!

Holly, thank u for posting. Wow eye opener for me, i never thought abt the food obsession stuff. Sounds like what i do/did.

I've become aware that i cant watch cooking shows, look at food related magazines, etc or it sets me off. Thanks for your honesty and for sharing. I'll be much more aware now.

      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!!
