Hi lady vs, yes the environment is odd. I mean these are people who has WLS surgery! And yesterday I had a coworker sit down with me, and we are talking and she must have said "but you look so different" so many times it was uncomfortable. Finally another woman at the table tried to stop her and say "she looks great". Of course, she kept going on. So with no support from the Banded or the Sleeved, I've got that going on. As I struggle with this journey, I'm really finding out who my friends are and who aren't even more so than ever. And sometimes it really sucks. Even enough to the point I just want to dip my head in a Barrel of ice cream. Obviously, I won't. But I will admit I cheated yesterday. I didn't go overboard, either. Yesterday, in a whole was very difficult for me. And I'm kinda mad that I gave in. But it's done and I'm going to try to pick myself up and try again. -_-

I totally understand. While I do have a support system, it's still not like coming here because they are just not on the level of where I am with my journey. I have cheated and probably will continue to in the future but that's life. We start over again the next day and try to do better. Anyway, hugs to you. :)

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
