Hey all, this has been a very long journey for me. I completed all of my classes successfully, went in for surgery in November and the day of the surgery it was cancelled. WHY? Lol, another story for another day. Either way u did not give up and a rebegan my commitment this February. On May 9th I went under and I am four days post opt. Excited is not the word. I never cared about my size because I feel big is beautiful....I have always been gorgeous. In fact I have a tattoo that says ms. Big and beautiful. However there is nothing sexy about unhealthy and with my weight climbing, the complications were crazy. I've been obese my entire life..I wore a womans 14 when I was ten. A womans 22 at 18 and ive been a 28/30/32 since I was 20. Im 30 years old now and my weight when I began this journey was 398 on the day of my operation I was 364. Of course by looks I never felt I weighed as much as I do, but I am working towards day five of a healthier specialer me....:-)

What stage are you. I experimented with all types of foods in liquid and puree stages prior to surgery, I may can make some suggestions....

      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!

      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!!
