Well, the divorce is in a stall because we could not agree at mediation - my husband is asking for me to do something I find reprehensible (give up my parental rights - just because he wants to "be in control" and "have the right to come into my house anytime he wants and take our son away if he doesn't like my behavior." SO my depression and anxiety are still quite bad... but I am now down a total of 59 pounds and am 11 pounds from my goal weight (21 from the weight a BMI chart claims I should be at... but I seriously cannot imagine myself that skinny and just want to get to another 11 pounds lost so I can weight what I did as a senior in high school - I remember being very happy then even with a few extra pounds). Anyway I am still struggling to move the scale - but not as much as I was. I still have some issues with snacking when I am really down or anxious but I am trying to stay out of the house more to help combat that - it isn't easy when there isn't much money, but I am trying. I keep reminding myself that the closer I get to my goal weight the slower my weight loss will be - but my 1 year surgery anniversary is in 2 weeks and I REALLY want to be down this last 11 by then so I am really trying! I even run a mile a day now in addition to my walking so that helps too. :-)

      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!!
