Nickybad, I will keep you posted. I have to go in today for a weigh-in at the doctor's office. The liquid diet has been a little tough but seeing the scale down 11+ pounds makes it all worthwhile.

I am so excited that tomorrow is the day!!! Happy dance, happy dance!!!

So, surgery went well. The doctor also repaired a significant sliding hernia. Stayed. In observation room till 5 pm and then went home. Slept pretty good just kept waking up for a minute or two to get comfortable. Felt like I had done 250 sit-ups and belly was sore from it.

The gas pains in my shoulder joints are the most annoying. I get them worked out and they come back. Oh well this so shall pass.

Every time I take a sip of liquid I belch. And I do mean a sip. That is frustrating. I really hope that goes a away soon. And, just on a side note sipping liquid Tylenol is gross.

Better go for now but will check in later.

Nicky, good luck and keep us posted. You will do fine. The biggest challenge yesterday was getting through the anesthesia. It kept me in such a fog and so grogy. Still a little bit today but mech better.

      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!!
