Eat for purpose not for pleasure. That's one I've seen before and is engrained in my head.

This has been (and continues to be) one of the most powerful tools that changed/calmed my brain's reward/pleasure center in the 6.5 years since WLS.

Whenever I encounter tempting trigger foods (sight/presentation/smell), I repeat silently "I don't eat that anymore." or "I don't NEED that anymore."

Thanks everyone for your fantastic suggestions!

We went with these Mantras to start:

  • SHE BELIEVED SHE COULD SO SHE DID
  • STRIVE FOR PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION
  • EVERY JOURNEY BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP

These stunning bracelets were custom designed and handcrafted for BariatricPal by artist Miranda Semmerling. Proudly made in the USA!

Silver Bracelet Details:

The Silver Inspire Hand Stamped Stackable Bracelet is crafted from 12 gauge Aluminum, lightweight & sturdy along with a great alternative to silver. We used 1100-0 commercially pure food safe aluminum. This is pure aluminum & is less reactive to one's skin than sterling silver. The aluminum is smooth on the ends so it won't cut your wrists when putting on & each is tumbled for a shiny finish. Hypoallergenic will never tarnish or turn the skin green. Very low maintenance. The supplier we use gets the aluminum from mills ONLY found in the USA and he's a Veteran!

Rose Gold and Gold Bracelet Details:

Our Rose Gold Inspire Hand Stamped Stackable Bracelet is crafted from Copper. Our Gold Inspire Hand Stamped Stackable Bracelet is crafted from Brass. Copper and Brass are warm metals that will naturally tarnish over time. Individuals can either let the natural patina take over or they can keep it shiny by using any polishing cloth. The Copper and Brass is 16 gauge, very sturdy, rounded smooth ends so it won't cut your wrists & tumbled for a shiny finish.

My 10c worth from many I've read:

1. “Happiness is the consequence of personal effort.”

2. "It’s the people with follow-through who excel.”

3. “Change your thoughts and you change your world.” – Norman Vincent Peale

4. "Your body achieves only what your mind believes!"

5. "If you never change, you'll never change."

6. " Your surgery is a catalyst for positive change ... and it affects every aspect of your life."

7. "It's getting started that stops many people."

8. "If you want what you've never had so far, you have to start doing what you've never done before."

I live my life by my favorite Tony Robbins quote: " whatever you hold in your mind on a consistent basis is exactly what you will
experience in life."

I saw myself in a dream at a party at my house. I was so thin, smiling, wearing yellow Capris and a white tank. I look at that image in my thoughts daily until one day I will become her.

      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!!
