I had to share with you all because I think you all would understand. Today I left that awful word obese behind. This morning my BMI is 29.8 and not 30 or greater. I am free from that word and I am never looking back. Thanks for listening.

I celebrated with 3 new shirts and a new pair of pants. I realized this week I had no long sleeve shirts that fit. One thing I've learned is to reward myself along the way, every 10 lbs and every big milestone like onederland and now this. I don't Celebrate with food but something to boost my esteem. Today I also checked out some stores I hadn't felt comfortable in only to realize they carried some bigger sizes then I wear now so I could have shopped there sooner.

Congratulations! Next time you see your doctor, I'd ask him/her to write "no longer obese" on yur chart just to make up for all the times "obese" was written on it!

I have always wanted a Pandora Bracelet (a real one) and could not justify the cost. I have decided to reward myself with the bracelet upon surgery and a new charm or bead for every 20 lbs. I figure all the $$$ we're saving on take out and junk food will more than cover my reward.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
