I've been wearing the same two pairs of xxl stretch pants for like 8 months now and I finally decided to suck it up and go jean shopping. I ended up having a damn breakdown in the dressing room because I've managed to go from size 20 to size 24 in less than a year! Agghh!!! I feel awful. I knew I had put on 20 lbs, but didn't realize I had also added so many inches. I know, It's common sense, but I just didn't want to face the fact that everyone else could tell too :( All of my pre-op requirements will be done August 8th, so I'm praying for insurance to approve me quickly so I can get a date in September.

I've worn jeans once since I had surgery. It was about six weeks after and they were about six inches too big. Before I was about to move into a bigger size. It was an amazing feeling. I don't intend to go jean shopping until the fall though when I can't wear sundresses anymore. Congrats and good luck on your surgery!! You'll be in a smaller size before you know it.

      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!!
