My One Year Surgiversary!



Recommended Posts

It is so hard to believe that it has already been one year since surgery and, wow, what a year it has been! I'm still 10 pounds away from my self-imposed goal and the scale has not budged at all in four months. But, I'm still happy as can be. I'm healthier, happier and I finally like myself again. I haven't been perfect in following the guidelines in recent months and I'm pretty sure that is why the weight loss stopped. Luckily I haven't gained anything back but boy, do I see how very easily that will happen! I renewed my commitment to/with myself yesterday that forever forward, I WILL NOT return to those terrible habits. I still come here for advice and the comfort of being in the company of others who are fighting this battle with me. I told only a few of the people very closest to me about my surgery so my support base for that is very limited. I really appreciate the support and community this sight provides. Thank you and congrats to all of you that had your surgery along with me one year ago!!

      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!

        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!!
