I went to the beach today in a bathing suit and had a wonderful time. I focused on me and didn't worry about my size.

Oh and my bathing suit is falling off of me. I ordered one from landsend in a size 14 and hope it gets here soon!

I'm in a 14 bottom, but a 20 top.....must get rid of boobs!

Cleaned out my closet. 8 full size garbage bags to my sister and mom. 3 more to go to goodwill. My husband laughed and said no more hunting for hangers! More to go in about a month!

I had three big lawn garbage bags full!! As soon as I get where I want to be I'm going to have fun filling it back up!!

Went to the Water park today and I didn't feel like the biggest person there! I even went down 2 slides, though I don't think I'll be doing THAT again LOL...I'll stick with the wave pool and the lazy river.

Yesterday was dress down day at work. The jeans I've been wearing were getting too baggy so I tried on everything in my jeans drawer. Most of them were two baggy! Only two fit - and I hadn't been able to fit in those for three years! :-)

I've been bringing down smaller and smaller clothes from my attic. I've already gotten rid of bunches of jeans and slacks, some without even getting a chance to wear them. I have clothes down to sz14 - if I get lower than that I'm going to have to make my husband do a few side jobs so I can go shopping! :-)

The future is looking bright for the first time in years...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
