How about some NSVs!?!?

Walking for longer periods of time is so much less painful now. That is so what I really wanted. Baaic things like being able to walk or stand for a few hours are taken for granted way too easily.

You know how hard it is to find jeans that you love - good fit, comfortable, and look good. When I found mine I bought them in 14's, 12's, 10's, and 8's. The problem I'm having now that the 12's are too big, is that the 10's are still a tad too snug. Even weirder - the 10's and the 8's fit the same right now. :-/ So much for planning ahead...

I have recently rededicated myself to working out every day. It is incredible how good my body feels even in the first few days! I'm lazy and would usually always have an excuse for not exercising, but let me tell you from the first day I dedicated myself to doing it I want to do it more and more. I love the confidence it gives me in how I move my body, and the sense of accomplishment I feel knowing I started the day ahead in my goals by putting that time to exercise in. Combined with following my recommended diet, I feel absolutely empowered in a way I have not felt before. For all those struggling, do your best to commit yourself to moving more and you will 100% be rewarded for your effort.

I jogged for the very first time on the treadmill today. Jogging/running again is my number 1 dream, top of all of my WLS related goals. I seriously have dreams at night about being able to do this. I had to fight hard to hold back the tears, even now it is still pulling my strings.

This made me happy for you. How wonderful; the sky's the limit!

I too got so use to not wearing smaller necklaces that I too was shocked that they now fit comfortably. I love these surprises!

I sat through a three hour film in the cinema with my legs crossed... Very comfortably!!! Can't remember the last time I could cross my legs even for a minute :-)

I can sit cross-legged on the floor now. And I keep on doing double takes in the mirror noticing how much smaller I am looking.

      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!!
