October Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

LOL! I was asked the same question. I chose 175 because I remember I weighed 181 in the 8th grade and wanted to be less than that. Right now I'm 5'7 and 394. Highest ever was 402...I about passed out :(. So 175 sounds like a dream! I also find myself looking at 'regular sized' clothes. It's exciting to think about!

Congratulations on 8 lbs down!!! I sure would like to say I'm 8 down from my highest. I was 306 or 307 initial consult and 311 last Monday. I said to someone else, I'm addicted to the Women's Fashion on Pinterest!!

I am 5' tall so my goal weight is 120. I can't wait to bend over w/o struggling to breathe, run, shop in the juniors sections (or hell anything but plus), wear a tankini, wear a cute dress with boots, not be stared at, not to sweat profusiouly, to come off of my meds and CPAP.....and many many more things....lol!

Oooh good question!! I want to wear a belt!!! Not an elastic back, about to bust off and kill somebody belt, but a cute, small, brown leather belt with khaki shorts and a white top!! I want to wear something and think it's delicate rather than wearing something with wide straps!!

Hahah!! I was thinking the same thing!! No elastic anything! I want to be comfortable and be able to SEE my belt. I'm to self conscious to tuck in my shirt anymore. I am 5'1 and want to be around 130. I remember being on weight watchers in 2000- I got down to 145 an was happy with that but why not give myself a few extra pounds for a goal! We went to the beach then and i actually wasnt embarrassed to wear a suit.

I would love to wear a simple tshirt and cute jeans with a belt with no belly or huge muffin top. I know I need to exercise exercise exercise!! I can't wait just to feel better!! Can't stand that im out of breathe by walking up And down a few stairs. My list could go on and on and on... Im ready for the challenge!!

I want to be able to wear any top and not worry about it being long enough to cover my belly apron. And I want to be a size in which I can go to any store in the mall and find something to wear. That would simply be amazing!!

      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!!
