Just want to pause and say how great full I am for this wonderful life I'm living. I'm not living an extravagant life. My husband and I are working class people we don't even make 6 figures combined. We rent because we'd be broke in a tiny house if we bought in a decent area in Chicago, the schools here suck and I'm going to have to pay tuition for my son to attend private school, but you know I'm so ok with all of that. I love my life the only problem I had was my weight, and now I'm 4 months postop and loosing. It's surreal, a once upbeat happy person, I'm now on top of the world, I'm literally ecstatic!!! Life is great.

It makes me happy when I see people like you, being appreciative and happy for what you have instead of jealous or miserable for what you don't have. I'm right there with you. I've been out of work for nine months, we've had to put having kids on hold for longer than we'd like, and I'm trying to work out how to move 3,000 miles to be closer to family. But in the meantime, I love that I've had this time to heal and work on my health. To reprioritize what is important and put myself to the top of the list again. I'm thankful my weight loss journey has been uncomplicated and easier than I expected it to be -- not easier in that I haven't had to work hard at it -- but that I'm not struggling with it as much as I expected. I feel wonderful, and I'm so grateful to be getting my life back!

      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!!
