Good morning friends. I haven't posted any pics for a while so I thought I'd post pics from my day yesterday. I went to Queens to watch the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Races. It was fun to watch but the bestest part of the day was my being able to walk from the shuttle drop off well into the park where the races were being held. I never could have done that a year ago. I wouldn't have even been able to go. I know that one day, this will all become ordinary for me, but for now, I thank my band and my orthopedic surgeon every day for giving me my life back. Today is my birthday and for the first time in a very long time, I am looking forward to a future of endless possibilities.

Hi everyone. Haven't been on here lately but I do try to read everything. Everyone seems to be having a super summer!! Yesterday we buried my mother. Not sad, she was 96 in July but her mind left years ago so we lost her 4 years ago not yesterday. A month before my sister-in-law, her 97 year old father died. Weird 2 in 30 days.

My numbers on the scale have not been great but with not eating so wonderful this week, I am down 5 pounds!! That is something positive. Maybe I can keep up my plateau of over 1 year and get out of the 190's finally. I was banded 2 years ago and the same weight for around 1 1/2 years. Lazy, tells it all. Maybe now that I have no excuse to see my mother and do things, I will get to the gym more often. I pay every month.

Everyone, enjoy this wonderful sun shine day (it is in Boston).

Love you all.

Arlene

My happy place I might have to leave . I love it here it's my place where I can be free and be me and someone who would love to make my life a living hell just for the fun of it and since we work together I can not beat the crap out of gotta love union jobs lol I might need to delete my account which saddens me. You guys have been so fantastic yet the thought of people know about the greatest day of my life gives me anxiety beyond belief. Why must people who are so miserable in their lives make mine so miserable. Finally the fraud I have been portraying although I know it's just a tool and how to work it and basically know no one else's opinion matters but it does . I'm working on this privately this year had been a wonderful amazing year why can't people mind their business how I did it ... If I delete account do all my post go bye bye as well? . Social media a gift and a curse

      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!!
