So this is kind of off topic but not entirely.

I've been realizing lately that I notice my fat a lot more.

I think with my surgery date approaching (Aug 15) I am letting myself see what my body really looks like. After so many years of being unhappy with my body I think I created a kind of mental block to what it really looked like. But now that surgery is fast approaching I keep noticing how tight my clothes really are, how far my tummy pooches over my jeans....stuff like that.

I think it's a healthy thing, so I can see where I'm truly coming from, and hopefully in a few months, see how far I've come.

Is anyone else having this kind of reaction to upcoming surgery?

      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!!
