Its been almost 5 months now. Its amazing how much I have changed. Compliments are pouring in. My self esteem is up, I feel more confident, and most of all I got my sexy back. The reason behind my decision to have this surgery was primarily my health. But ive gain more than i expected. From 375 I have lost 95lbs in such a short time. I wore a size 30, i am now my way to a size 16. Its been over 12 years since i could wear a size 16. My husband is proud of me, my children loves the new me. I'm happy!

What was your regimen? If you dont mind me asking?

Hummmm. I really dont have one set regiman. It took me a while to understand that I cannot eat the way I use to. Ive tried to run to the type of foods that brought me confort in the past, but that doesnt work anymore. It took me 4 months to start working out, because I wasnt really motivated and because I'm currently unemployed I cant afford a gym membership. Now I go walking at the park at least 4days a week. I've turned to youtube to show me the proper way to do certain excerises at the park. I dont keep an accurate count on how many miles I walk, i just do it and its a stress reliever for me. I refuse to buy a scale because I dont want to become obsessed with it. I weigh my self twice a month at the Dr. office. I measure my weightloss success when I do things that I havent done in years, like polishing my toenails or putting on my socks and shoes with ease. I know i have along to go, Im content with the progress I ve made so far.

      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!!
