I Know This New Beginning Started With My Surgery



Recommended Posts

Today was a good day. I'm a year post op. My a baker by trade. I've been at my job as a baker for 3 years. I come from a long line of bakers in my family ( though I didn't find this out until after I got the job). After surgery, I quickly worked my way into management and today I was offered my own bakery in the company!!! I'll be moving to the new bakery just after Easter. I truly believe my surgery gave me a new lease on life and a strange and wonderful feeling of confidence. I can't wait!!!! ; )

Haha! A lot of people say this, but I just really come prepared with options for Snacks and lunches. Pair this with long distance running and a little more carbs here and there aren't too bad for me. Besides, hauling heavy dough around every day is a work out in itself!!!

Thank you all for the lovely comments! I knew you guys would understand that new found feeling of self worth : )

      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!!
