Hello there! I am 4 1/2 months post-op and to date I have lost about 86 pounds! Getting the Gastric Sleeve was the best decision I ever made. I documented this journey from days after I made the decision to get the surgery, until just a couple weeks ago! I would love for you to come on an adventure with me as I make my way to Onederland....

Good for you! I'm 5 1/2 months out now, and closing in on Onederland too, but am stuck at 203 as if there's some magnetic force-field keeping me here! It's infuriating!! I'm exercising 6 days a week and eating carefully and no starchy carbs at all, so i know it'll come down eventually. Sigh. It's great to see your pictures mfm116 and look forward to posting my own once I hit 198! (I'd be afraid 199 was a fluke, so my personal "onederland" is 198) and my end-goal is 145. Keep at it folks, and we'll cheer each other to our current finish lines, which will of course only be new starting lines, right!?

Love your blog..I started my journey getting sleeved Dec 2013. I discovered it gets harder to lose those last few pounds..I started at 310 lbs my goal was to lose 150 lbs and I am still working hard..but I am glad I lost 100 lbs and could not have done it without this surgery and my new mentality towards nutrition and health.

      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!!
