Thanks everyone for your well wishes! It means a lot to me. I really do need the positive energy. So nervous tonight, I'm shaking while I type. I've made the schedule for carpool, caregivers, lunches, etc. for my almost 9 year old DD. Given her a little extra TLC. I'm packing for the hospital and trying to get the bills paid (it is the first of the month). Just trying to remember everything that might need doing, so I can REST! I'm going to try and take some before pictures tonight. I did have a lymphatic massage today and some Chakri energy work done. I think it helped, my head isn't pounding near as much! I just need to remember to relax and believe. My mantra to Losing Just Me: "Breathe, Believe and Be Happy." I'm going to keep saying it! I'll try and get my husband to post and let everyone know how it went. Bye for now!

Okay, miracle of miracles, I think I'm all ready and I have hours to spare! LOL! I'm going to try and post some before pictures. They're pretty scary and I would never wear this in public. Just got the swimming suit for the before pictures. I wear a size 10, but you would never know it from the pictures. Okay, here goes:post-218103-13813137124163_thumb.jpg

Karey, except for the tummy, you have a very young looking body. After today, you will look young all over!

Wishing you the best!

Okay, we're leaving for the hospital now! I think I liked thinking about the TT more than actually going! This is taking a lot of courage. It really is a leap of faith. I'm taking some deep breaths and trying to get centered here. I guess I'm leaving... Deep breaths...

Karey, I so know how you're feeling this AM. Thank goodness there were hefty charges if I had backed out, LOL. Now I'm so glad I didn't.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
