Recommended Posts

I think I have too much on my plate!!!! I have been working on getting this sleeve for over a year. In the mean time I applied for a MSW program and to my surprise I got in.... now I’m like holy **** I’m getting the sleeve starting a Masters program and not to mention I have a family a 15 year old, 11 year old and 1 year old... I have to do this there is no putting anything on hold I have waited what seems like for ever for both opportunities... can anyone relate???

Yes, I can relate. I had a lot on my plate when I got my DS--I was also in graduate school, but honestly you'll be so happy when you start seeing the changes. It's doable. I also have two of my kids still living at home (not a one year old though. That would be hard). Keep moving forward with your eye on the ball: your health. Prioritize your to-do list, and plan your meals on the weekend. The first few months are the hardest. It gets easier.

You have this - breath. If you can handle and infant and teenager graduate school will be fine and the sleeve will be just part of a larger transformation. Sometimes structure makes change a little easier you are spot on there is never a good time - The time is now. [emoji38]

I can relate.. I work full-time, working on my Degree, i have 4 Boy’s(12y, 5y, 2y, &1y) I feel so overwhelmed at times. Especially if I can’t get everything done. The laundry sometimes sits for a few days and some night I make a quick dinner for my family. I just feel like I’m all over the place. So I totally can relate to what your feeling. I’m taking it day by day and keeping my eyes on the prize! Sexy by summer 2018!! [emoji322]

      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!!
