I totally get fat brain ! I don't see or feel a difference and I'm down 31 pounds.
I'm stunned when I got into something I KNOW IS TOO SMALL!
Every day I say goodbye to the weight! When I'm dressing or showering, putting on socks or brushing my hair... I say a little goodbye ...
Goodbye double/triple chin
Goodbye dimpled thigh
So long overhanging belly
arrivederci bra fat
Aurevoir cankles
Move on down the road slappy arms...
You've served me and I am done with you.... Good bye!
I also find it funny how many people comment on my hair...
"New color? Looks good!"
"New cut? Love it!"
"Wow, what have you done with your hair?"
Nope, Nope, Nope! Nothing Nothing Nothing!
People are shy about noticing the weight... Just in case their wrong and you haven't lost the weight!
So apparently I've got great hair and ought to consider an xL shirt size too...
Say goodbye to each glorious pound for our "new problems" are fewer than the ones attached to those califlower thighs!
Blessings to u!IMG_5214.JPG.93b367136166f4a7612b3837116dd79c.JPG

Such a funny post, and totally true! I still take a size 18 into the change room in case the 14 doesn't fit. I have been asked if I have done something to my face as I look younger - um no, but 14 kg less of me probably gives me a spring in my step.

Nothing beats that feeling of success when you slide into a pair of clothes that you're convinced won't fit at all. :-)

      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!!
