Can't believe I am this close...20 more pounds!



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am SO happy to say that I have reached ONE-DERLAND as of my follow up appointment today! I have about 20 more pounds to go to reach a goal I have set for myself. At that time, I will consult a plastic surgeon for a TT. I am hoping to reach my goal by New Years but if it takes longer, then so be it. I have to keep telling myself that this is a journey, not a race. I am on no one's deadline but my own. I have read so many success stories on this website and that is what keeps me going. I have been through the good, the bad, and the ugly with this process but I am overall coming out in the positive! Thank to everyone who shares their struggles and their victories! You all inspire me to be a better bandster!

Take care,

Katie

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
