I'm post op as of the June 24th, I spent two nights in recovery instead of just one (I'm really sensitive to meds so I was a problem child). I'm feeling pretty good but I'm only able to get in 3 bottles of Water daily (and that's a struggle) every time I drink anything it feels like a stabbing pain in my stomach. I know this is more than likely because it's so new (Wedensday) but that's not making life easier for staying hydrated. I go this coming week to check in.

Other than that I feel great and am so exciting to get the ball rolling here with the weightloss!!

Feel free to friend me and keep in touch!

So I went for my 2 year check up this past week. Was a little nervous because I couldn't remember what I weighed in at last year, and I've put on a little this year after switching up my thyroid meds. Anyways, I'm down 4 lbs and that has me at the 80% loss of excess weight! yay! My dr was very happy with my progress. I think I may start looking into Tummy Tuck :)

Oh and let me know if you have questions about tummy tucks. I had the circumferential lower body lift which is more cutting but I can help you understand recovery etc. I am thrilled with my results! I am wearing a bikini this summer for the first time in 23 years. It's a mom bikini (I have big books and like that business covered really well) but it's a bikini! I got it from bare necessities because they have swim stuff made for girls double d and higher. I got a top in a 32 DD and size small bikini bottoms and it is adorable. I wasn't even shy about wearing it at all.

I never gave my update! My son graduated from High School this spring and we had his grad party followed by the 4th! The past two weeks have been a blur! My 2 year went fantastically well. I already knew about

OOPS! Hate when that happens!!

Anyway, I already had the results of the blood work, so I knew I was high on Iron and low on zinc. We adjusted my Vitamins to reflect these results. My doc wants a full blood panel again in 6 months just to be sure everything is still good, but I don't need to come in again until next year. Weight is GREAT! Found out that I can officially say that I have lost 100% of my excess weight.

Hope all of you enjoyed a great holiday weekend! It is so nice to really live this life! This weekend we went canoeing, hiking, biking, took part in a 75 minute Turbo Kick class, and went for a 3 mile run! 2 years ago I would not have been able to do one of those things, if I had tried I would have been down for days. I LOVE this new life!

Kristi, sorry about the blood work. I have always had bad veins. WLS has improved that too! It's nice not to have to dread getting a blood draw! I feel for you!!

Bloodwork results are on my chart and they all fall within the normal range... YAY I guess if some are lower or higher than they want they will let me know.

When I was overweight, they couldn't find my veins because they were too deep... now she says they roll around because my skin is loose... can't win for loosing i hate needles!

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
