Im looking for to ovulating and getting pregnant

Woohoo, that was the final decision making point for me to have the surgery as well. My husband and I have tried for over a year with no success. We are looking forward to trying again in another year and for it be a much healthier pregnancy. I hope you have success as well!

I'm so excited to fit comfortably in seats at amusement parks and not have to go to extended seats or be kicked out of line. I had that happen at Cedar Point and it was mortifying.

I also can't wait to feel better when working out. Because right now it's horrible and not motivating.

1. Being able to buy clothes off the rack

2. Not having to replace my single pair of jeans every couple months because of thigh rub

3. Not avoiding cameras. I'd also like to mention being in pictures without having to be the fat girl prop that makes the average person look fantastic in comparison.

4. Going into a restaurant and not having people stare while I eat.

My youngest daughter asked me the other day why I wear the same shirt so much. Well... Because it fits...sort of....

Besides getting fit and healthy. I'm most looking forward to wearing a sweater when I want to and not because I'm trying to hide my rolls/belly. All my life I've worn a sweater during every season, even summer because I didn't like the way I look and in my mind wearing a sweater hid all of that. I love photography, I love capturing moments and people in my shoots. So I'm looking forward to not only taking the pictures but actually being in them. Creating a "perfect shot" with me in it. And finally, not being limited on what clothing stores I could walk into. Not having the fitting room lady give me that snarky look that says: "you're not going to fit in that" and when I try it on, of course not having it fit. I'm ready to stop tearing up and mentally comforting/preparing myself as I get dressed to step out of the four walls of shame because she was right. I'm looking forward to finally being myself 100% because I am fun and loving and no one's seen how much I've struggled throughout the years because I only show my happy, cheery side. So I'm ready to be happy again. I'll finally, unconditionally love the person who stares back at me in the mirror every morning. I won't allow myself to hurt that person again. I'm ready to make changes for myself. I'm ready!! ^_^

      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!!
