Getting below 200 lbs has been one of my goals my entire adult life. This week, I finally got there!!! A little less than four months post surgery and I'm down to 197 (down 65 lbs)!!! I am so excited! I'm more than half way to my goal weight of 150, and I can't believe that another 6 months from now I could totally be there! I was also finally able to buy my first Lululemon hoodie, which I bought to Celebrate this huge milestone. I am sooooooo happy I had this surgery and how it has changed my life! This week people outside my close circle started to comment on my weight loss. People who work at my hospital, teachers at my daughter's school, even the checker at our grocery store all started complementing me. It felt really good to have people notice! We're leaving for disneyland in 5 days and meeting up with some family who don't know about my surgery yet. I can't wait for them to see the new me in progress! I'm also excited about flying on a plane without all the stress any worry about spilling into the next seat! Anyway, thanks for all of the support, and I hope everyone has a very happy thanksgiving tomorrow!!!!post-204117-14170563140099_thumb.jpg post-204117-14170563256478_thumb.jpg post-204117-14170563449221_thumb.jpg

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
