Penni, what a wonderful job! You just keep getting prettier and prettier. I think John better hurry up with that ring and proposal before somebody else snatches you up.

Hi Penni!!!

You do look wonderful!!! I am so proud of your progress! That is funny when you mentioned your doctor's office response because now whenever I go to my primary family doctor he calls me the "Incredible Shrinking Woman." I always crack up at him. I am his first band patient and he was really worried when I went to Mexico for my band surgery. I remember when I got home after surgery, my brother had an appointment with him and I went just so our doctor could see I was still alive. My poor brother felt upstaged because the doctor just couldn't quite glancing at me amazed I looked so good and energetic after surgery. Anyway I have veered off course from my well-wishings... Best wishes, Teresa

Is Penni the front half and Lulu the back? Whatever the case, you look fantastic! But I think you're a big liar because a child your age couldn't possibly be a grandmother. You don't even look 40! Yes, you are evil!

Aw shucks guys you make me blush! And thank you so much for the support. Teresa my primary didn't want me to go either but now he is a convert. He asks me all kinds of questions about it when I go in for a visit. We must educate these docs so if a patient is in need of some information then they know who to turn to.

Thanks again. And just let me say we are all awesome here. Every last one of us have taken that step to get healthier and happier with our bodies and our minds. I still struggle with looking in the mirror and seeing that before Penni. I have to remind myself I am not like that anymore and it shocks me everytime. I went shopping yesterday for a christmas outfit and had to go a size smaller than I thought I would need. 14/16 shirt and still 18 pants but the shirt really surprised me. WOW!!!

Penni you look great! I had my daughter in law take a couple of pictures of me Sunday night before the surgery and she just kept clicking away, because usually I'm yelling, "don't point that thing at me". So hopefully I will have some after pics to send you to post before and afters for me. I like your new avatar pic as well.

Penni doll, you are adorable. I am so happy for you and for your huge success. I am sure everyone is praising you, but it must be great when you go to your clinic to hear them gushing over you and your beauty. You are just sparkling with pride and joy. You could be a decoration for your Christmas tree and not use any electricity to light up the room!!!!!! Let your light shine bright sweet girl. Congrats. Theresa Marie

      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!!
