Congratulatiions on your NSV! (Non-scale victory). That is a major accomplishment! I'm off my diabetic medicine as well. It is so nice to periodically check my blood and it's within the range it should be in.

Be proud of yourself! That is awesome!

I total get this one as my Mother is very obese and I wish the best for her , and I worry about her as we are only 16 yrs, apart , and we did ask if she would be canadate for wls , but her docs say her heart would not be able to take it so they won't do it and is diabetic and has to do insulin twice a day and take her pils 3 times a day , including asprin 5 times a day so I get it , eat to hear for you , I bet you are real happy that you don't have to do the insulin any more , pretty soon it will be just vitiamins for you Yeah !

      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!!
