My Biggest NSV's so far



Recommended Posts

I went to the doctors on thursday to see my PCP and my blood pressure was 123/81. Never in my adult life have I had a normal bp reading. I was so use to hearing 140 or higher over whatever that it took me a little time to realize that it was normal lol. He still has me on 2 medications but I'll take that since I started out taking 4 medications before surgery and I'm also on half the dose that I was on starting out.

My next NSV is I wore a 5 inch pair of heels to my co-workers wedding last week.

I now wake up at 4:30 on the days that I have to work to do a hour of yoga which I would have never done before surgery. Everyday I notice that I do more without even thinking about it, before I would never take the steps over the elevator but now I just do it.

I'm so in love with my sleeve :D

Congrats! I was on 5 bp meds before surgery,, gone1

Isn't funny how you start to feel the need for exercise? It becomes a new craving of sorts.

Every so often I find myself holding back in my head still seeing myself at 271 pounds and think for a brief moment I should do that, or I wont fit in that. Then I remember I no longer weigh that and go for it!

Thanks! I thought I was the only one who held back. I have to remind myself that I've over 100 pounds and I can do way more than I could do before surgery.

Yes and I've never been excited to go to the doctors before now. I would be afraid of what the scale would say and what my pressure would be. Now I can't wait until my next visit lol.

I'm sure your doctor will be just as happy to see you and even happier that you have loss weight.

Yes Candaceshenea I couldn't believe that they were 5 inches and I was able to wear them most of the night. I didn't even know that they were 5 inches until after I was home from the store.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
