So much has changed



Recommended Posts

Six weeks out- down 35 lbs. 50 since starting the program. Amazing to me how little food has control over me now. I grabbed a chunk of chicken to eat tonight because I was out running errands. Few hours later I had a Mandarin for a treat. I used to plan to go get food and looked forward to food now it's just necessity. Eat enough Protein and drink my fluids. No issues with drinking Water no sipping needed. Happy girl. Food used to rule part of my life. Not anymore.

Congrats on your weight loss, keep on that good path it only gets better. I am three days from my 5 mth surgiversery ... 81 pds down since the start of the journey, 64 since surgery. I have never felt so good in my life. I am smaller than I was in high school, love every day of it.

I can't wait for that feeling. I've got a little bit of that on pre-op but I still catch myself thinking about junk. Neuropathways change after surgery to rely less on food as a pleasure source. Hypothetically, this should be a common side effect of wls. If brain scans were part of the before and after treatment, we'd know for sure.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
