When I was in the midst of getting myself emotionally prepared for my surgery I was asked to read 10 different books. I did and none of those books answered the questions that I really wanted to know. Things like, how will my life really change? How will I change? What can I expect from this surgery? I wanted to know how my world was going to change and in those 10 different books all I found was what could go wrong if you didn't follow this way of life to the letter. I spent a year blogging about what was going on for me at every appointment and the ups and downs of life in between. I was raw and vulnerable in all that I wrote about and it helped me to begin to slowly heal the emotional wounds of being obese in this day and age. I was changing even before having my surgery and was getting excited for what was to come after this life changing adventure I was about to take on. I have expanded my blog into an actual book that I know can help people answer these questions that you may have before, after and during this surgery. I take you on this journey with me and together we figure out how to become "Finally ME!" Read a book from someone who has been on this road and from someone who wants to show you which potholes to avoid and which forks in the road have the best views. Let us do this together. If this is something that you are looking for then my book is available on Amazon "Finally Me! by Alicia Hill-Marceau.

      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!!
