Yeah you're right, rather a "Come here, look what I'm packing!" that expression , I was tempted to say " Oh, did you get another piece of luggage?" Inside the Bad Evil ME is thinking "Oh a train case, scarcely qualifies as a Carry-On!"

I was thinking about what @GreenTealael posted in another thread about how we aren't the same people as before we lost weight because I'm having an unusual morning.

Before surgery, I had severe chronic back pain and often spent one or both weekend days resting in bed watching TV or on FB because I was tired, my back hurt, and the drugs I was taking for my back made me tired. I'm off the pills now, and my back pain is quite mild.

Today I got up, had Breakfast, and then my husband went back to bed. I cleaned out our disgusting screened-in porch, removing piles of leaves and dirt. Then I took all my makeup and other bathroom items off the crusty mirrored shelves, Windexed the shelves, and managed to throw some stuff out. Then I went on my treadmill for 20 minutes. I justed changed the sheets and started laundry, and I'm heading out to wash my car in the driveway instead of a carwash. In short, who am I?

This surgery and corresponding lifestyle have made my life so much better, and I'm so grateful I had it!

That is so fantastic! I have felt like that a few times, but then some type of complication comes along and b!tch-slaps me back to reality. I hope to get to where you are soon!

I can’t wait to watch that movie!

9 months post op next week and I’ve been eating pescatarian since May 1st. At this point I meal prep for 5 or so days out of the week. Honestly eating has become less stressful so I’m happy. I’m 25lbs away from goal and training for 3 races this fall: two half marathons and a full marathon. Nailing my nutrition now is a huge priority for me. People ask me about how my surgeon feels about my progress and honestly I don’t know, I’ll find out next week lol.

I'm officially a sophomore, 6 months to the day that I had the sleeve done. Been stuck in stalls for the past two months. Just can't seem to move that scale. But I'm hanging in there, getting my Water, exercising, eating 800 calories, focusing on Protein. Doing all the right things, just waiting for results. Hoping I'm not "done" and already at maintenance. It's too soon! Hoping it's just a stall. I've got 50 more pounds I want to lose. Discouraged but hopeful at the same time.

      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!!
