Just had to share my happy today!



Recommended Posts

So, I have major depression issues and it seems like I don't get "Happy" very often (maybe 3 or 4 times a month, if I'm lucky) so when I do feel happy I just want to scream it to the world and this is one of those days!

Today was the first day in over a year that I was able to take a shower without being in tears from the pain the Water and loofa/washcloth causes. It actually took a minute after I got the courage to put my whole back under the water to realize that I could stop cringing because it wasn't actually hurting that bad! I wanted to scream and shout from the rooftops that I got to take a nice, long, run out of hot water long shower without crying. I did do a happy dance though, that's for sure!

So, that is my happy share for the day. Hope everyone here has at least one happy moment worth celebrating today. I know I did! (And even if it doesn't happen again for a while, I am thoroughly grateful for it). :D

And if anyone does have a happy moment worth celebrating today (aren't all happy moments worth celebrating? ;) ), I'd love to hear about it!

I have been having a nagging kind of pain on the left side of my chest when I took deep breaths ever since my surgery on 1/17. Today...no more pain. May have been gas pain, or maybe muscular, but either way, glad it is finally gone!

My scabs are falling off after major skin surgery.

I cant tell you much I whoop whooped round the house.

Then I had to lay down as the dancing knackered me but I was still grinning

Yay for a happy day! Well, today is Friday so that is always good. Also, my hubby and I are trying to have baby #2. When I was 290 pounds trying for baby #1, my Reproductive endocrinologist said that IF I got pregnant I had a higher risk or miscarriage, diabetes, C-section, etc. The same doctor said that he was reviewing my treatment from last time and could not believe the difference metabolically. Said that I was literally a new person and WHEN (not IF) I got pregnant, the pregnancy and delivery will be completely different. Said that I am healthier than women 10 years younger. Said that my risks for all the above were just the same as a woman in her 20s. Considering I am 39 years old that is awesome.

So happy for everyone! Here's to more happy days to come! I actually had another happy day today too. I spent the day with my mom running errands, but she was in massive amounts of pain in her lower back so I tried my best to take her mind off of it by making her laugh (which I did with flying colors, I might add :D ) The two of us laughed so much and so hard today that even though it was icky errand day (she and I both despise errand day) it turned out to be one of the best days we've had together in a very long time.

Thank you God for blessing us!

Sorry for the months later follow up, but this is so inspirational! I have at least 2 years to wait before I can start trying and I was afraid of the "geriatric" gestational age of 35. Glad to see we can affect how "old" our bodies are. Also--your goal weight is very near mine, you are awesome!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
