I've been a slow loser. I was having some trouble in the beginning but getting better. I'm so close to the green zone I can taste it! I've lost about 65lbs so far.... not great, but at least its coming off.

65 pounds is great. I wouldn't put yourself down like that. I'm barely at 30 but I'm taking that 30 and running with it. Lol. Anything is better then not losing or gaining. Stay positive. Hopefully it don't take me long to reach the green zone.

30lbs is fantastic for month out! I hope you don't have to wait long either :)

I still feel like a "newbie" trying to figure things out. Lol

Thanks. The thing I hate the most is that I can't do a full workout at the gym.

I honestly havent done any excersize i keep saying im gonna start but never do

Yea I told myself if I'm going to do this I need to sign up for a gym. If not there's no use getting this band. I have to do my part in the weight loss as well. The band isn't going to do all the work. So I took my butt to a gym. Lol. I love the gym now.

      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!!
