I hate raw onions due to the lasting effect they have on me for about two days. Headaches and horrible breath.

Cooked onions, sautéed onions, onion rings, onion Soup, no problem. Love 'em even.

Name is Sharon. Have always been a pretty laid back, easy going person, easy to get along with. Nothing extravagant or out of the world. I'm so at ease with the simple things in life, shelter, food Water, clothes and family/love. Doesn't get any "simpler" than that ;) lol

I initially started my journey in 2012 with getting the lapband and my name at the time was myjourney2012. Now almost 3 years later, I'm having my lapband removed for gastric bypass, hence this is my journey again.

this has always been my nickname - from the time i was a little girl - because i was always pulling practical jokes on my Aunts when i was younger they would call me a Devil - and since my real name is Dava Lynn and Devil Lynn sounds like that it just stuck - so that is what I have been called my whole life. Well that and Big BUtt Bertha...lmao!!!! (not said in a hateful way) When i was about 5 my uncle actually married a woman named Bertha - you can imagine what happened - I asked her - so... do they call you Big Butt Bertha too? hahahahahah!!! she was very high bread and she didn't laugh too much at that to say the least...but everyone else did!!! hahahah!!!! The Devil strikes again!

When I started using the internet years ago, I didn't want my real details online, even my first name and a friend suggested kate and I have stuck with that, where ever I have wandered on the world wide web. Funny really since I joined the 'July' group on Facebook and the members can see my 'real life name' there.

On Bariatric Pal the nick Kate was taken so I added uk, as believe it or not I'm from the UK :P

Invictus means "unconquered". There is a poem by William Ernest Henly by the same title that has gotten me through some discouraging times.

      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!!
