October 6th. .on my two week liquid diet. Down 5lbs. So far, but it's been rough. Still have to prepare supper for husband, 10yr old and 9yr old. But praying this is the answer to finally getting this weight off. I'm 42 and have been overweight since I was 8. HW 295 CW 280 and 5'4" tall.

Will your Dr. be telling you what liquids you should be having? I have a 2 page brochure thing telling me exactly what I have to have/ not have. And menu ideas too. My biggest hurdle is planning ahead and I am FORCED to plan ahead to be successful with the liquid diet. I can't just stop and grab a sub sandwich if I don't pack my "Liquid lunch." So the menus come in handy, I can just follow those and then pack up what I need the night before for the next day.

      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!!
