So I tried on a size 14 and they fit! Plus this morning I washed my back. I couldn't reach all the way up until I realized it today. That was awesome.

I crossed my legs today. They still don't stay there for too long but I couldn't do that before for even a second.

But best of all, the person I see in the mirror has hope for the future.

I got into the drivers seat of my daughters small car, and I didn't need to move the seat back! I've never been able to do that before.

My NV I am actually working a second job right now. 1 year ago my husband and daughter did all the shopping because I couldn't stand or walk. I now do 8 flights of stairs. I try to daily but don't always do that. I walk for 15 minutes a day at least. I am the happiest I have been in years. I thank God that the surgery gave me my life back! Thank you all for support and may God bless 2015 for us all.

Today my husband helped me recheck my measurements. We took them and recorded them in my journal two days after I started the pre-op liquid diet on November 17th, 2014 because a friend of mine had told me that she didn't take any measurements and that was one of her biggest regrets from preparation. Today, in comparison, each of my upper arms are nearly 3 inches smaller, my neck is a full inch smaller, my chest shows a five inch decrease, my waist is a full EIGHT inches smaller, and my hips are three and a half inches smaller!!!! Each thigh is three inches smaller, and each calf is an inch smaller. I am SOOOOOOOO thrilled with these results! Here's to dressing like a hobo for the first few months of 2015 as my clothes are hanging on me and i REFUSE to replace them as of yet!

Yesterday I went to Walmart and shopped for clothes in the normal sizes area. Of course I had to look for that area because I always went to the big lady section. When I got there I found a pair of jeans size 34 and oh yaaaa they fit and looked good. Thats down from size 44.... I started to dance and spin in circles, I was so happy. After I realized people were watching me, I stopped and said " Hey...I lost 134 lbs, and I'm shopping". I got lots of smiles and continued shopping. Yes that was a moment.

I've been able to sleep the entire night in my bed. No more recliner! I also broke the 10,000 step mark on my fitbit yesterday! Over 12500 steps in one day! And I crushed my sister in a five day competition for the most steps! ????

      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!!
