Just went out to Water the shrubs. It's so hot I almost soaked myself with the hose in the front yard. I really miss chugging icy cold water. : (

I miss chugging water more than anything. Who knew. It was so much easier to drink enough when I could gulp down half a bottle.

My stricture is still giving me trouble. I haven't been able to take in any fluids without throwing them up for almost 6 days. I have on the other hand been getting IV fluids every couple of days, but I am miserable. Yesterday I had my esophagus dilated again and injected with steroids and got absolutely no relief for the 1st time. Called my doctor am d be said it's so inflamed he's going to have to throw in the towel and finally put in a stent. Apparently they worry about them migrating and putting a hole in the esophagus. I have never been worried about any operation but this worries me. I think I'm mostly worried about the discomfort.

I didn't even think of having a Popsicle. That would have totally hit the spot. That's going to be my snack after I Water the shrubs again tomorrow. This heat is a killer.

Awe! Thanks! I'm sure combed hair in the 2nd pic does help a bit! ;) haha my fiancé snuck that picture of me a few days before surgery. I beggggggged him to delete it and he (lied!) and said he did! He actually saved it though to show me when he thought I would appreciate it and I truly did! I was so excited when he told me he still had it! I great pic to look at when I don't feel like hitting up the gym! Lol

Sometime in 2015... Because #1 I want to have all of my weight gone and #2 I have to graduate nursing school first or I'll lose my financial aid when they calculate his salary in as well. We aren't in a rush though! We enjoy our life together already (though truth be told, we would both love to run out and get married tomorrow... He's VERY anxious an excited!) lol

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
