I was just in Brussels in November for their Christmas Market :) I was also alone (work trip). Do you speak French? I do not, and was able to easily get around there. Just about everywhere offered menus in English, too -- you just have to ask. Same with signs, almost everything is in French and English.

How long are you staying? Do you have any plans? I did a great walking tour of the city when I was there and it was "free" (you just tipped the guide at the end. most people gave 10 euro).

I just came home last week after spending 2 weeks in France and Italy. I'm really looking forward to traveling after my sleeve surgery, I know I'll enjoy it even more.

You should do relatively well. Albeit - the endless Lebanese treats on every corner in Brussels and to die for chocolate will be tempting but the losers bench taste so much sweeter. So, you will do great! Enjoy your time there! [emoji3]

      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!!
