A Letter to Filepe (My Sleeve)



Recommended Posts

Dear Felipe (my sleeve)

Thank you for arriving on time, nearly two weeks weeks ago Tuesday.....12-17-13

I can hardly believe that it has only been a mere blink of time since the inception of our marriage and the honeymoon has yet to begin. I belive that part of the problem with our relationship is that I don't really know or understand you and you don't know a darn thing about me...although I reluctantly wanted this union, it was not without great distress, soul searching and endless research...

You may think I just woke up one day and decided to drastically mutate my body for reasons that lack insight or vetting...however, you would be grossly incorrect...just as you continue your inaccurate assertions about what I want to do and your increasing un-abliging role in such.

First it was the pain killer...some times you want to cooperate with me, some times you don't...it never seems to occur to you that if I need it, Im in pain...but you decide with reckless disregard, when you will take it down and when you won't...you're like a stubborn toddler that is hungry and has a cold - riding for a long car ride! Just stop it....

As for the capsule I tried to swallow yesterday....I was cleared to swallow whole pills and you need to wrap your little head around this concept also.....Grabbing the capsule and barricading it in my throat is not the answer.....Why be so difficult?

To add insult to injury, today you decided again, that any form of Protein intake is simply unacceptable in your eyes...what you fail to realize is that unlike my children, you came with an instruction book and a whole harem of medical professionals who dictate how its going to be...despite your best efforts to be obstinate and disagreeable...

I realize as it stands our marriage is not all bad....I am down 19 lbs and for the most part we have few arguments.....I just need your assistance in meeting my liquid goals and protein intake. Please Felipe...try and be a little more hospitable to me....were married now...for life....I don't get to return you after Black Friday or downgrade to the cheaper model....the maintenance plan comes with you and I'm committed to you for eternity....please make this journey with me pleasant and I will reward you with great health, a vibrant recovery and no more additional surgeries or revisions...

Take care of yourself Felipe....Let me know if you have questions....

With Love and mild distain....

Shelby

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
