I'm so excited. It's been 20 years since I've been this small. Yesterday I went on my first shopping trip. I kept gravitating to tge 3xl and it would dawn on me. I'm a size 16 now " GET OUT OF THE PLUS SIZE"! omg never thought I can actually wear things I actually want. Not just look at sizes till I found something. It feels amazing. Went from size 26 jeans and 4xl tops. To size 16 jeans and xl top in just 4 months. Victory! Best decision I've ever made for myself. No regrets.

It's a mind thing. I basically can only eat about 4 bites. I've learned bread is a no. I only drink Water with flavor pkts. No carbonated drinks. Eating slow is the hardest part for me. But definitely do it. Walk everyday. Even if it's in your yard at first. I literally walked circles on my patio at first because I was so out of shape. It's hard for me to eat heavy in the morning so I usually eat special k Protein Cereal with splenda. Have a slice of ham, a slice if cheese and a mini bag of pretzels. I can't eat it all so I make 2 meals of it. Then for supper I eat whatever the family is having but stop as soon as I feel full. Hope this helps. Good luck on your journey

        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!!
