Recommended Posts

Oh I'm so nervous and happy. Today I belive I get a weight in when I see the surgeon. Tomorrow my surgery day I'm all having thoughts that run through my head. . Am I that big do I really need this now? But there is one that sticks to me and that is why I'm still going through it. I hoping everything will be ok today and I get good news.

Stephanie, you can do this! Whenever I've faced some pretty daunting tasks, like walking into a surgery room three different times, I just focused on how great I'll feel an hour afterwards. Maybe not physically, but mentally I know I'll be so proud of myself for accomplishing such a big goal.

But most importantly, before they wheel you away towards your new life, take a moment to say goodbye to your old self. A therapist once told me that I was afraid of success. I do believe that. It's not failure that haunts me, because I'm very comfortable with that. But to make a change, and stepping out of my comfort zone, is absolutely terrifying. I think for whatever reason, most of us in this situation are afraid of success. Some of us, like myself, are afraid to see just how great we can become. We self sabotaged ourselves so indefinitely, we carved out this safe niche with food and stretchy pants.

Tomorrow is your change, butterfly. You'll be more than fine.

      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!!
