Gobble! Gobble! Turkey Day Pics!



Recommended Posts

Ok all you post op sleevers! How did you spend your day?? Did you take any pics? I'm like the "selfie" queen these days :P But today for thanksgiving my little family unit did our traditional thanksgiving at the beach. For the last 6 years I cook everything the day before (and they all eat like piggies) then on thanksgiving proper we pack up turkey sandwiches and spend the day giving thanks at the beach :) Here are some of my pictures, Please show me some of yours! :)post-167126-0-65615700-1385692079_thumb.jpg post-167126-0-06043400-1385692118_thumb.jpg post-167126-0-63382500-1385692161_thumb.jpg post-167126-0-39120000-1385692207_thumb.jpg post-167126-0-29619500-1385692244_thumb.jpg

That's great LV and you are looking so healthy and fit. All that hiking and biking is paying off.

Missus butter and myself ran a turkey trot 5 mile race this morning. I'll have some official race pics in a couple of days but for now all I have is this post run/freezing our asses off selfie. Afterward we grilled jumbo bacon wrapped shrimp for our non traditional turkey day "feast." I use quotes around that word because now 3 shrimp fill me up.....but I still made 5 pounds. WTF?

The sleeve was the best decision you have made for yourself and your family to be able to live a healthy life. ;0) I have seen your before pics awhile back and you completely transformed. Your testimony has given me a second chance at life as I undergo my surgery in 2 wks.Thank u!

Yep the best decision for sure (besides marrying my husband of course :P)

My turkey day pics would be me in two diff sets of pajamas :P Today was lazy day. I cooked a bit but really just hung out. Highlight of my day was realizing how great coconut oil feels on your skin after a shower.

Not only does she look like you a LOT, your body shapes are very similar too. They're so sweet Laura. Love their smiles.

Girl that's my kind of turkey day!! We didn't get to the beach until 12pm :D

Yes she has my body but in a size 2 and buff..

She was doing push-ups right after we ate..

You don't want to mess with that girl she will take you down even though she's short.

She does cross fit and likes to kick the boys asses and she is the one to catch at her ROTC weekends...

SHE DOES NOT TAKE AFTER ME IN THESE THINGS:p

Her mama is a lazy slug :D

      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!!
