Buying clothes that aren’t in the plus size section or not buying the biggest size the store has and hoping it fits lol. This is the first time I’ve ever been able to wear a boyfriends clothing item and not have it be too small. Just cute and baggy. I love it!

Our staff was eating lunch outside today at some picnic tables. Most are overweight. Two of us who are normal size were sitting at one bench and when a late staffer came, the immediate consensus was for the "skinny" ones to move over and make room. Ha!!!!!! I was one of the "skinny" ones!!!!! It is just sooooo weird getting used to this new classification of body size. Surreal, actually. All my life I have looked at "skinnies" from the fatty vantage point - sometimes with envy and mostly with sadness that I was not one of them. Now I am looking from the opposite view and it is just so different, especially since I still think of myself as fat in my mind, but others see me now as skinny, and maybe with envy, resentment or sadness. It is going to take some time for this to all sink in.

My 80year old aunt at a wedding asking me if I was okay. She said she has never seen me so thin. In total 63lbs in 4.5 months I had a tough first 2 months post open. I am under 20lbs to get to Normal at BMI wt range. Love this decision.....

      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!!
