I'm a little more than 6 months post op. I hit my surgeon's "success goal" about 4 months after surgery. I am at a healthy BMI for the first time in 20 years. I am now going to lose 10 more so that I have some wiggle room in the healthy BMI range. The weight loss is very slow now, and I think my body is quite happy here (so am I!). I would also like to incorporate more regular exercise now. I exercise about 70 mins, twice a week. Trying to find a third day a week. Would like to take some yoga classes as well.

I'm also 6 months post-op, and I also met my surgeon's goal at 4 months. I'm still 11 pounds overweight, though.

50 lbs down almost 4 months out. Progress is progress but I hit so many slow downs. Weeks that I stay the same. I was told that by April I should be around 180 but it doesn't look like I will reach that goal.

"I’m going for the gastric bypass and have set my surgery date (or am trying to get one set)."

I am a VSG patient, actually.. but this was the closest option :) Surgery is set for 3/29!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
