Six months postoperative today, -65lbs!



Recommended Posts

Starting weight: 257lbs Size: 24 and 3X

Current Weight: 192lbs Size: 16 and 1X

First of all, I am happier than ever, that is the most important takeaway.

Other than my husband, no one knows I had surgery. I am so glad that I didn't tell people.

I feel amazing! I have energy and confidence again. I have suffered from depression and anxiety for years. Weight loss combined with proper medication has really helped.

For the first time in my life, it is starting to get fun to shop for clothes and clothes are comfortable. Nothing hangs out or over anymore.

For anyone considering surgery or who has just had surgery and wondering if it was worth it, I promise you, it is the best decision you will ever make.

The first few months are challenging but you are forced to completely change a lifetime of habits overnight. You will learn and every day gets easier, especially once you start to see the weight come off.

For all of those on this journey, I wish you all the best and I hope this helps if you are struggling. Keep up the hard work!

      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!!
