I'm a size 22 now. Surgery scheduled for 2/20. I bought a pair of size 16 jeans to stare at in the closet. They are my future NSV. Lol

I used to have to sit down and pull my leg up to tie my shoes. I was on my walk the other day and shoelace came untied. Without even thinking I bent down and tied it! That was awesome!!!

I love my new wardrobe!

I weigh less than my husband :)

That people in my life who haven't seen me in a while don't recognize me.

I'm a Diabetic and I used to (don't have to anymore) give myself daily injections. One of the favorite places was on my waistline, above my hip (love handles)

I needed to pinch the skin with one hand, and inject with the other. I could do it on one side with no problem, but I could not reach across my body to the other side!!

As the weight came off, I noticed hoe easier and easier it was to do this.

Now, I cannot only reach around side to side, I can reach over my shoulders and scratch between mu shoulder blades in the middle of my back!

      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!!
