Hi everyone. Surgery is 13 days away. I found out yesterday I tested positive for H Pylori. So I am taking 4 horse pills to combat this monster bacteria in my stomach. On a good note, I have been eating a low carb diet for 12 days now and I have lost 15 pounds. My overall weight loss is 42 pounds. So I ventured into the back of my closet the other day and pulled out some "skinny" jeans (isn't it strange I call size 24 my "skinny" jeans), anyway, they are my favorite jeans of all time and I was so excited when the slipped over my hips and fit comfortably. A lot of my friends have been telling me, "oh when you lose weight I want that leopard dress" or "I want that jacket and jeans." It got me to thinking, I have some clothes that I LOVE. I am going to hate parting with them. I know I will buy new, smaller, more stylish clothes but I'm really attached to some of these items. Am I crazy? Well yeah, my friends would say I am on any given day, but I mean for thinking this way about clothes.

 

I also realized that other things are going to change. I'm such a big girl right now, I don't think anything about crossing a parking lot. I expect the cars to stop for me. This big girl makes a big dent if they hit me. I don't think their insurance is that good. I'm gonna have to learn to stop and look both ways when I get skinny. I also don't worry about someone grabbing me and kidnapping me. Have you ever heard of a 300 pound woman being taken? No! But once I'm skinny, this could be a real situation. Good thing I'm a pistol packing country girl. Of course my mom always taught me if a man was following me suspiciously to start scratching my crotch and pretend I was eating boogers. LOL! I'm betting that would deter them for sure.

good luck with the H Pylori., I had that and had to get mine cleared b4 the insurance would pay for my sleeve.

it actually took me 10 months and 3 sets of treatment and an emergency treatment to clear mine up, but it is not like that for most people I believe. I am allergic to penicillin and had prolly had H Pylori for years, plus we think I may of re infected my self by sharing a fork with my husband lol.

You story of the car park is what made me stop and smile, I always say it will hurt the cars more then it will hurt me lol

almost 40lbs down since my sleeve 3 weeks ago, I hope thats going to change for me some day soon !
