Hi all. Im new to posting on this site. I always read what everyone else posts and it has been extremely helpful.

I had my surgery 11/17/14. Everything went amazingly smooth and now finally have my energy back.

When i started the process i weighed 252. By using my fitness pal i got down to 230. Then my pre op diet got me to 225. And last night i weighed in at 199.1. So im quite happy.

I just wanted to introduce myself.

Wow!!! Awesome job! I had my surgery on 11/17 as well. You stats are similar to mine. I lost 14 pounds to start off, 16 pounds on pre-op diet. I weighed 304 on start date, 274 on day of surgery and today I weighed 255.3 So, I have lost 49.5 pounds total.

I am so happy for you to be under 200! That is an awesome milestone! I am hoping to be below 250 when I return back to school on 1/2 or at least when the kids return on 1/5.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
