Any MN Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if there's any Sleevers from MN, USA? Would love to talk, I'm having a hard time finding support groups and buddies in MN.

I'm a little over 10 months out and since surgery I've lost about 85 pounds. Since my highest weight I've lost 190 though. I have been feeling pretty great. No regrets. I thought the holidays would be difficult, but I found that I wasn't as interested in food as I was in past years. I've been in a stall since September, but a few days ago I just felt horribly nauseous all the time and it turned me off from foods that I was having issues controlling myself around (like sugar) and I've managed to start losing again. I had my surgery at HCMC because I work for the county and the insurance paid for everything (except my copay). I've really liked the surgical team there.

I'm having a hard time this year getting used to the cold though. I lost all of my insulation, so I keep a sweater and a sweatshirt at work for days when I'm freezing. The last few days I've had to double up on my coats too. :-P

They actually didn't close the first day but I kept my kids home anyways. Then on Tuesday they did close. They should have been closed Monday too. It was such a mess for the poor kids that did go to school.

      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!!
