    Default 4 year surgiversay

    It's been 4 years today!

    I intended to get dressed up and maybe take a nice picture today to show how far I've come in 4 years. Turns out I'm not feeling it today.

    I actually feel rather down today, and have been for a bit. My whole body hurts, every bone and muscle, and I have no idea why.

    With it being the weekend, I weigh more today than I do during the week. Sitting at 117 today.

    Meh, I guess it's just another day.

    Except it's also Melly's 2nd birthday. Happy birthday to my evil, jerk face cat, Melly Bean.

    Hi Katrina,
    I congrats on your surgiversary. I am scheduled for sleeve surgery tomorrow. I had no pre-op diet. I actually gained 6 of the 11 I lost over 3 months. I have a lingering cough that I am worried about because post surgery it might hurt my tummy. Please share any tips for first week post op.

    Thanks

    Happy surgiversary! Looking good there girl :-)
    and Happy birthday to Melly Bean - she looks a little startled in the first photo ;-)

    Hope you are feeling better soon - maybe a virus? Take it easy and look after yourself.

    Happy surgiversary Katrina.
    You are one of my role models, because you too went to a very low weight and managed to gain something back over time.
    Life is not easy for you, the last couple of years.
    I am not surprised you feel a bit down... I sure hope you will feel better soon!
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    Congratulations @Katrina on your 4 Year "Surgiversary"!.

    I am sorry that you are feeling unwell.
    Could it be that you have a virus/post-virus fatigue?
    I sincerely hope that you pull up out this and not morph into Fibromyalgia/ME/CFIDS.

    Maybe time to visit you primary health care provider and have a whole set of blood tests done, including nutritional?

    Can only wish you all the best.

    Congrats on the 4 years. You have been through so much over those years, you are one strong woman! Hope your daughter is doing better, I think about her all the time.

    I'm home sick today too, both hubby and I are down. I blame it on the 4 flights needed to get home from Sicily. Airplanes are germ machines!!
