Best Decision I’ve Made with My Health!



Recommended Posts

I know I’ve already updated on my progress, but today was a substantial day for me. I’ve been the same number, and same pant size for a while. Stalls don’t bother me. However for some reason I looked in the mirror today and just felt different. It was a “wow, you look like a completely different person!” moment.

For those of you waiting for, or suffering through the first few weeks... it DOES get better.one day you will wake up, and suddenly realize you have a whole new life waiting for you. It’s a wonderful feeling!

Below are 2 old pics from the past year, as well as two pictures from today! (Ignore my husband in the last, he isn’t a fan of my new found comfort with pictures LOL)

Happy weekend everyone, I wish you all great happiness 😊

Oh, man! Your face has changed so much! That's awesome!

Thanks! I feel like I've lost most of my weight there LOL! In fact, the first few weeks were so weird because it came from there first so I had this tiny head and big ol body. Thankfully the rest of me is starting to slim up a bit to match :)

I’m going through the process for vsg & I don’t have a surgery date yet. Sometimes I doubt myself for wanting the surgery or I start having negative thoughts. Your post is very positive & inspiring! Thank you for sharing your pictures & your success & positive outlook!

      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!!
