So, so ready....

I am OFFICIALLY in a size 7 ring!!! And my size 18/20 clothes are beginning to get a little loose. Holy crap!!!!

I'm having my 1st procedure to remove (hopefully) half of my pre-cancerous polyps in my stomach on Friday the 17th. The 2nd (and hopefully last) one will be on March 10th.

I'm thinking my revision (going from my gastric sleeve to a gastric bypass out of necessity, because of what the sleeve is doing to my stomach and my esophagus) will be in May or June. I can't wait to get through that and just get back to living my life.

So tired of all these medical issues. I just want to go back to working out the way I used to and FEEL BETTER. So tired of this.

I was thinking about you this morning, and I had a thought... Perhaps this stuff is happening now, because you are so much healthier. If you would have had these health issues when you were heavier, you might not have had the best outcome.

Hugs!

I honestly never thought about it like that. Huh. That could very well be.

Had my surgery. Not feeling that great. Stomach is in some discomfort. Had 8 big polyps removed. 1 was super big, inflamed, and granular. So a biopsy was done on it. On the 10th, I'm having 8-10 removed again. Not sure if that's going to be all of them. Might have to do a 3rd surgery. There was some bleeding today, so the doctor could only do the 8 today. I slept a good portion of the day away, and I'm only having a Protein Shake for meals. Hoping I can move on to Soup and maybe soft foods tomorrow and normal food by Sunday. Definitely not feeling great, tho. Blah.

You got this, one day at a time. Don't rush it.

Thinking about you!
