I wanted to buy a new pair of jeans for my birthday- maybe a nice, stylish pair. Hard to find jeans that fit. Most major retailers think I don't exist. Grateful for good old plain Walmart. Their jeans are as basic as they get, but they fit- I hate buying cloths because there are always very limited selections. My friends think

I have no sense for fashion- I do but I am very limited.

Well, yesterday was my last fat birthday 55-by my 56 birthday, I will be able to shop at Macy's, Kohl's-wherever I want, God willing. My surgery looks to be Jan 6. Maybe next year I will buy a pair of skinny jeans????. Prayers and peace to all.

Well I wish you all the luck with your surgery and your next birthday. I am anxiously waiting to see the surgeon and get my surgery date so I can start my journey, too..

I'm with you, gwunderle! My 59th birthday is near the end of December and I'm hoping to have surgery that month also. I've already told my husband that I'm planning on being close to goal if not at goal by the time I turn 60!

I wish you all the luck in the world to obtain your wish for your next birthday.

I made it to goal for my birthday this year and am very happy because I can shop almost any where I want.

To be honest I kinda went overboard on buying clothes for myself but hey I figure I have no intentions of changing my size so I look at it as an investment. LOL

Once again the very best to you with your upcoming surgery and here's to a healthier and happier you..

      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!!
