books to help us with the emotional side of our eating, which I now believe is 90% of the problem are a must.

Another wonderful book is:

"EAT IT UP" by Connie Stapleton, PhD

She works us through the mind, body and spirit process of why we overeat. I love this book. Being a Christian, I know the importance for me to incorporate spirituality into the core of healing. If you are not a believer, this might not be for you. If you are...this is wonderful resource.

I ordered mine from Barnes and Noble.

      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!!
