When I got my blood test results I found out that I, too was low on Vitamin D. My NUT said that heavier people for some reason can't synthesize that vitamin from the sun- something about the cells not being able to when you're overweight. So now I take 2000IU of vitamin D daily. Now I don't know if there is a correlation, but for the longest time I had terrible pain in my legs every morning when I woke up- some days I'd be so stiff and uncomfortable I couldn't walk. Ever since starting on the vitamin D regimen, I feel so much better! And the improvement was almost overnight. It was like 3 days after starting the vit. D that I noticed a difference. So I guess my point in posting this is that once you get on the Vitamins you're supposed to be on, you do start feeling better! Good luck with everything!

      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!!
