Today my scale read 298. I wanted to cry with happiness!

I haven't been this light for 6 years. I don't even know how to feel about it.

HW- 350

SW- 334

CW- 298

I've lost a total of 52 pounds in 8 weeks. I'm 6 weeks post surgery and even though it has been a rough journey it feels like life is starting to come together. I'm learning more every day and I've gotten through my first stall.

I'm starting to see why people say this was the best decision they ever made. As I'm not fully there yet, I hope one day I am.

My main goal for this post was because when things were super tough I needed to see the success people were achieving. I want to help inspire.

I want you to know you're not alone and even though each of our journeys are our own, you have more support here than you realize.

And hopefully I will never see a 3 on my scale again.

Congratulations. I've been under 300 for a couple weeks now and I feel as though I'm approaching being a 'normal' person - whatever that is l..

My point is.. it is a great feeling. Our stats are quite similar so I feel connected to your accomplishment!

Well you are normal but I understand where you're coming from. I know the feeling. I'm on the treadmill right now doing this and haven't stopped in over 30 minutes. I couldn't have done that 6 months ago. Three or four minutes would have been tough.

      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!!
