Alexis, you look fantastic! I, too, love the boots--I'm looking forward to wearing mine when it gets cool enough outside (we're in the 80s still--dang it!). Congratulations on your great achievement!!

Just wanted to say thank you all for the kind words and encouragement! This board has been a great resource for me and it is so great to share my experience with people who truly understand my journey.

And to Kala, thank you! That means a lot to me.... I write my blog in the hopes that it can encourage, inspire, or sometimes just make people think. I try to be 100% honest and up front about what this surgery has done for me.

You are doing great and you look fantastic, loved reading your blog! My surgery date is Nov 15 and every time I go shopping (and have done this for years) I just look at all the boots and sigh, knowing that they are not going to fit over my calfs. Well this year I have decided that for Christmas I am going to buy me a pair (at least 1) and then also buy some more at the end of season clearance sales so that next year at the beginning of cooler weather I will FINALLY BE ABLE TO WEAR BOOTS! That is one of many of things that I can't wait for.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
