I know you will. Use your hungry to stay motivated, remind yourself how far you've come and you're not going to stop when you are so close to the finish.Put your climbing gear,on, you ll,make it over the mountain and think,of the pretty valley you get,to,live in soon.

So it is officially one month since I've had surgery. Here's my comparison stats:

weight: 304 to 277

bust: 53.5 to 50.5

waist: 57.5 to 53.75

Hips: 65.5 to 60.5

Thigh: 30.25 to 28.5

Right Arm (batwing): 21.5 to 19

So, I've lost 27 pounds and 16 inches :D

My surgical incision sites got infected, but I finished up the antibiotic two days ago and saw my surgeon Friday and he said they looked like they were healing nicely.

I've been walking almost every day for at least 30 minutes at a time and have noticed that my speed and endurance have improved. I even spent six hours outside in 90 degree temps yesterday (at a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game) and survived (in the past there is no way I could have tolerated that much heat and standing). I'm really excited for all the new experiences I'll be able to have as my weight decreases and my health improves.

      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!!
