Congrats on your decision...

I took a picture of myself on "decision day" - 08/20/13. It was the day I stood on the scale in the doctor's office and cried. I vividly remember how I felt that day - I was sad, I was angry, I was desperate. I look at my face in that picture and see an empty shell of a person - no life, no joy, no happiness. I am so glad I documented that day with a picture.

This is an amazing journey you are about to take - there will be highs and lows, joys and tears.

Best of luck to you!

      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!!
