Hey guys! It's Sarah again! So I'm 8 days out from surgery and down 15 pounds :o :lol:

Here are my stats:

Highest Weight - 375 (January 2014)

Surgery Weight - 337

Current Weight - 322

THAT'S 53 POUNDS I'VE LOST IN A YEAR!!! :D I still have 160lbs to go but I feel that it's better to focus on the positive right now and show just how big of a difference -50 pounds is.

Here's a before and current pic-

I'm so excited! I can see little differences everywhere! My boobs are smaller, my legs are smaller, my waist is smaller, my face is smaller! I'm so proud of myself! AND I lost most of that weight pre-op so wooooo!!

So pretty much I just want to encourage others to take a minute and Celebrate how far you've come instead of how far left you have to go. Think positive! Let yourself see the changes. You are awesome! :D

Way to go!!! Okay, here's your heads-up that at around 3 weeks out you're likely to stall for 2-3 weeks. It sucks, but it's expected and normal. If/when that happens if you'd like more info, let me know and I'll send you a link. BTW... Even during stalls, the inches keep coming off. Keep up the good work, and make good decisions every day!

      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!!
