Congrats Casey!!! I wish I started my journey when I was your age!!!

Right now it's all overwhelming. With all the what coulds. And the what you have to do's. But I can't wait. I wanna get this done while I'm young and it'll all be a bit easier. I've struggled with weight my whole life. Id rather do this now and just get it done so I can live my life happy and healthy. Its gonna be a rough few week.

I know the feeling!! I'm 27 and have spent majority of my life "big"! I enjoy things as much as I could but there have been plenty of instances that my weight/health has hindered me! I went indoor rock climbing last year and could barely climb the wall! I went to Jamaica 2 years ago and had to chuck half my photos because I hated how big I looked! I'm sure loosing weight will be like living in a whole new world to us! I can't wait until my consult!!!

I know! You cannot find one single picture of me where I was not overweight for my age. I feel like after its all done and the weight off. I'm just gonna be a whole new person who enjoys life more cause now with having smaller friends and of I go do what they do there's always a fear I can't. Like roller coasters swimming walking around the mall shopping. And by next summer going out in a swim suit with them wont be so intimidating

      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!!
