2012 - I had Vertical Sleeve Gastric Surgery in October 2012, and this is my journey to push the fat girl aside and start living life without fear of lawn chairs, the middle seat, clothing shops and high heels. Among other things.

2017 - I'm preop for the Duodenal Switch procedure for my sleeve to help me get to goal weight....and to fix another hiatal hernia.

Getting Better

Last night I managed to get up the stairs to my bed for sleeping last night.  Gawds that was a nice change. 

My groin is feeling better today, not 100% of course, but enough to give me hope that I'll be able to work on Monday.   However, I'm not going to push it too hard today. More rest, ice, ibuprofen and reading/netflix.  The Husbeast bought me the Brave dvd yesterday. So that and all the extras are on the list of things to watch!  I'm excited!!

Weighed in this morning: 266.8lbs

I'm very pleased!

The sun is out, I'm going to make a coffee and open the patio doors and enjoy the cool morning air and sun.  While sitting on a could icebags!  Wee!!   :)

Welp....

It's been an interesting couple of days. My back problem morphed into a groin strain, and of you've ever had the pleasure of one of those, you will know how "great" it feels.

I've been trapped on the 2nd floor since Thursday evening post turkey day. Ice, rest, ibuprofen, sleep. Repeat.

I'm feeling more close to human now, apart from not showering and sleeping on the couch in my cloths. But I'm walking and feeling better, so it was worth it to not push myself.

Turkey day was great. My sleeve did its job, since my eyes are still not trained yet. I did notice that I ate like the thin ppl at the table, I picked at what I really likes, left what I didn't love and only had a single plate that I didn't finish. It feels good to be in control.

Since I've not been upstairs, I've not weighted in, so tomorrow I'll have a surprise!

Today is more rest, more ice and Netflix.
