happy 29th anniversary to me and my hub...

went and got flu shot (ouch) and weigh in for me..lost 5 pounds..total 145 pounds lost/no fills/17 months post op

i am happy and i am even more happy with the mobility aspect...knowing i can get out and walk a mile

or through stores and that i (can) in awesome..

i do regret not talking my measurements when i had surgery

i was just to ashamed to have hub do that..or anyone else for that matter.

hub had done that in the past, tracking inches lost and its a cool thing..maybe

why i love using my clothes as a (scale or judge) to see how i am doing..

i told hub i was bloated and i probably may have lost more and he said

we dont care what numbers say as they say different things all day long (true)

we care what the size is we are now.......today, i got a pair of 14's on

...yeah, i am okay with that.

had a halloween party at work.....i did eat some apple slicesm some slice cheese and 1 small brownie..

i brought my own beef pattie to eat......there was so many yummies, it all looked so good.....but what looked even

better was me knowing the scale was almost in the 180s....and nothing can taste as good as that..i ate what i wanted and not for one second did i feel deprived or left out..

came home and went to my aerobics class......hub came home and he said lets go walking

and i did that too....loving every day with my band and plication..

You are amazing, CG. It's quite liberating to be able to eat one brownie, and not feel the need to devour the entire plate. It's a good place to be! No, I take it back.......it's a GREAT place to be!!

      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!!
