WOW!! You do have your plate full!! But...in order to become a healthy version of yourself, you have to make a comitement to having your WLS> I an say this much it is truly a miracle to get your life back and then to take it and run with it. DEon't let your fear or family talk you out of this!! I know it is kind of scary too. Just think of your beautiful babies that need their mom with them. Good Luck with your new journey!!

#AMEN, Sherri

I feel the same way! My surgery is scheduled for May 30th. No health issues and no children; however, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, etc run in my immediate family. I am 5'2" @ 300lbs!! I have to do this while I'm blessed to do so.

Your advice is confirmation for ME too!! Have a blessed 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!

        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!!
