I had my surgery less than a year ago. And it has changed everything. When I made the life altering decision to have the surgery, I gained the courage by imagining what life I might live if I were healthier.

A few months after my surgery I bought an RV, and moved into it full-time in June. This gives me so much freedom, and the ability to travel full-time. It is an amazing gift, that I would be physically incapable of enjoying at my previous high weight of over 300 pounds!

I am so grateful that I was able to get the surgery. It has truly changed my life. I know I will always have to be careful about my relationship with food, but this surgery has truly given me a chance to live the life that I've been dreaming of.

      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!!
