What are you thankful for this week? - 8/31/2020



Recommended Posts

So what is everyone thankful for this week?

I am thankful that the summer heat is starting to subside here and I've been able to get outside for my walking again.

I'm also thankful that I haven't had any tolerance issues with any of the foods I've tried so far, though admittedly I have been playing it safe and not branching out too much yet.

I'm also thankful that my bosses informed me of my raise for this year and it is beyond generous.

  • I am also super grateful for summer's end being in sight and for the rain we got recently!
  • This may be controversial, but I am grateful for movie theaters re-opening.
  • I am grateful for being prescribed an anti-depressant that seems to be helping lift the veil a bit.

Great post idea!

I love this!

I'm grateful for the fact that I get to spend so much time with my kids this year.(even though the reason why sucks)

I'm grateful I finally got to have my sleeve surgery and that I have so many supporting family and friends.

And I'm so so thankful for my husband, who's done everything imaginable to make sure we could afford the surgery and that my recovery was comfortable. He's a good guy.

I am grateful to have made it to see my 40th birthday today. My baby boy only made it to see his 10th.

I will turn 40 again next year and Celebrate on someone's island! 🤭😉

I am grateful that I lost my grief weight of 40lbs, plus an additional 10, totaling 50lbs down by my 40th birthday.

I am grateful for my family and friends, who love and support me.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
