Thanks! It's crazy to think I had surgery 8 months ago, seems like a week the time has gone by so quickly. Wearing clothes you want instead of what you have to is such an amazing feeling. You'll get there before ya know it!

I’m sorry I meant to say I saw your profile lol. Wow 8 months in! I’m so happy for you! You’re a strong woman. It’s so hard and it’s just my first day lol. Any advice you can give me? Did you have to go through the same preop diet? I know everyone is different. Mine is strict liquids for two weeks 😥

It's all a mental game. Keep yourself distracted as much as possible. Now is a good time to get things organized and cleaned around your home before surgery. Clean out your fridge & cabinets as much as possible to get rid of any temptations. Mine was slightly more forgiving but honestly, I stuck with the liquids more because it was just more convenient. Write down your WHY's and put them on your fridge and pantry to help keep you focused. Journaling is another good way to keep distracted. You got this! It will all be worth a few days of struggle.

Thank you so much for those ideas that I definitely will put to use asap. The first day was the hardest for me and today I feel better more in control 💪🏼
Are you doing ok in your journey?

I am! I feel like I have a better relationship with food and exercise all around which was the most important end result for me, Eating for fuel and exercising for my mental health. A lot happier in my own skin.

How's the pre-op diet going? The weekend may be the hardest part but everyone is different.

      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!!
