That is awesome!!! Is that the first time you have stepped on the scale since your surgery? I have heard that when you come home from hospital that your weight goes up from all the fluids you get in the hospital??!?!

You are rockin!!!

Hey that's 16 lbs you'll never see again. And nothing to cough at. Be proud of yourself. Remember you was pumped full of liquid and gas for surgery. That doesn't leave your body right away. When your body starts to eliminate them you'll lose. Just remember to get up and get walking. Also don't compare your loss to others. Everyone is different and loses different. Stalls will happen but when they do don't focus on the lack of weight loss. Instead pay attention to your clothes and measurement. Your body sometimes needs time to adjust to your loss and often you lose inches instead of pounds. Which we also want!

      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!!
