Congratulations. I had my surgery just over a month ago and it was a bit of a whirlwind!!

One recommendation: i was so grateful to have an electric blanket on my bed at home. The heat offered comfort and I believe greatly aided in my recovery. It also now helps soothe my stomach for any discomfort I experience from time to time as my stomach adjusts to incorporating solids.

Congratulations on getting your surgery date! It's great that you are feeling excited and motivated to make positive changes in your health. Remember, weight loss surgery is a tool that can help you achieve your goals, but it's important to remember that it's not a quick fix.

It will require a commitment to making lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise. Your surgical team will provide you with guidelines and recommendations for your pre- and post-surgery diet and exercise plan.

It's also important to remember that weight loss is not always linear, and you may experience plateaus or fluctuations in your weight. It's important to focus on your overall progress and health rather than just the numbers on the scale.

Remember to take care of yourself both physically and emotionally during this process, and don't hesitate to reach out to your surgical team or support group for help and guidance.

      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!!
