So I have a broken hand and you have a broken foot! Lol! Seriously though I know how painful it can be. I hope you heal very soon. I see the hand surgeon again on Monday for him to determine if I need surgery and when it will be, then just need to get it all sorted and done ASAP!

Oops hit send a bit too early lol. Is the brand name frackers? I might have to see who stocks here in Aus. They sound like they could be a goer. Make sure you rest up on weekend and don't over do it because you could make it worse!

I feel amazing, I'm enjoying life more, I have more confidence etc. I saw my surgeon today he's very pleased with me, I go back in feb and he will do a referral to the plastics guy then. He wants me to lose another 10kg which I said I can do! I've lost 53kg so far

That's awesome! I'll never be super skinny but aiming for size 14 up top and 16 down below. I see my surgeon end of February and if I'm still doing well he's going to refer me to a plastic surgeon woohoo!

Don't get me wrong I'm not skinny I feel a lot smaller but I will never be super skinny either but I'm happy with that

I won't need any plastics I had a tummy tuck years ago so have never had a big tummy even at my largest.

Ah I'm gonna need the works but as my surgeon said, no matter how much effort I could put in at the gym the reality is I'll be at least 60kg down by the time I have surgery & there will be excess skin as a result of such huge weight loss

      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!!
