You've missed pontificating, backlash, back-peddling and lock-downs

lol so it appears!

I am privy to what your refer. Generally yawn-worthy!

How's the weight loss going? I have lost and gained the same two pounds about 5 times this month.

The fact I ate 8 chocolate eclair sweets on Tuesday evening and followed it up with 10 chocolate eclair sweets tonight.

I am bad. I feel ashamed. Bloody period!

You also missed my poo infusion...just got home. Easy peasy. Just rolled over on my side, took a little nap and woke up with new poo. Only took about 1/2 hour! Been on Clear Liquids for 2 days, so afterwards drove to the closest fast food place and devoured the innards of an Arby's ham and cheese. Chew schmoo...

Good Lord, lady. If you tell me these things, then I WANT these things.

The weight loss is terribly slow! I had the 6 month check up yesterday and his scale weighed me MORE than mine at home! I was hoping mine was wrong, but to my benefit...ya know?

I live in NY. The weather is turning now, maybe I should be out there walking...or something?!

I think we're brothas from anotha mutha.. 'cause I'm the same. I haven't had my six month check up. I'm scared of it.

I have this feeling he's going to say 'lower your calories to half a glass of fresh air per day'...

He won't like it if he knew I'm just about to eat some pork, because I'm starving - at 1am. I didn't eat enough Protein today which is why I ate the sweets. That and my unwarranted time of the month. I'm supposed to not have 'times of the month', but tablets or not, they still turn up! ARRRGH!

I need to try harder. I really must, or this thing is gonna be a bust :(

I wonder if there's a difference - green vs yellow boogers? How about just white or clear snot???

Seriously, someone needs to be studying this.

Hate to tell you this, but it has been. I work in the pharmaceutical industry and manage clinical trial databases. I've collected data on sputum which includes a description...color, clarity, etc. Yes....ma'am...it's been done already. :rolleyes:

I'm going to tell you something, do not dispute this, you are scared.

You're smart, articulate, and well liked, and you're terrified like the all of us.

The dr. Was pleased at my 6 month and yours will be, too. Expectations vs. reality. Our heads tell us it should be more loss, but reality is we are right on track. Do not doubt it!

My weight went up and down and sideways with no forward progress for OVER A MONTH. Talk about scared!

But, it started to budge a little. When I asked the dr. If it's almost over, he laughed...and assured me that it is not!,

Hold my hand, we will move forward. And if we fail, just remember this.....

"You can ALWAYS get skinny, but ya can't get pretty..."

Lucky us.

lol Oh, of course I'm scared! (in a kid caught with her hand in the cookie-jar kinda way). I don't want to have to face the consequences of my shoveling down a truck load of toffee encased chocolate and the likelihood that he'll tell me to lower my calories! Huzzah!

Terrified? No. As with most things, it's all relative. Loneliness is the only thing on the planet that terrifies me. Truly.

I can man-up and take on my responsibilities better than most. If i have to swallow shed loads of Protein shakes to get there, I will. <URGHHH!>

I know we're alright. I mean, how can we not be?

We're bloody fabulous! ;) x

I'm terrified. I'm terrified that if this doesn't work, I will hurt someone and that someone will likely be my husband, so then I will be alone!

See what I did there?

I quit smoking in order to have this surgery. I think I spend more time missing cigs than I do missing food. I feel like a gave up EVERYTHING.

I need a huge reward for being so amazing. I'm going to get that reward come hell or high water!

Ps: I no longer have that time of the month! Maybe that's my reward!

Ouch. That hurt. I was not a casual smoker either! I'm talking 35 years, hard core smoking! I miss it.

I kind of always suspected, though, that I would eat sweets JUST so I could follow it up with a cig! Logically, because I don't smoke now, I don't seek sweets!

Weird

      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!!
