The ones who have had surgery, how is everything? Time flies and it's almost a month I had the surgery. I am doing well and started to lose again. Had a 2 week stall. Just joined the gym and this will get the ball rolling! Survived the storm yesterday, 34.5" of snow!! I hope everyone is all well.

I had surgery Sept. 10, 2014, and at my 3 month weigh in I am down 50 pounds. It was a vary welcome surprise, as I don't own a scale. I was still feeling so tired and when I spoke with my doctors about it, they suggested to have blood work done again. Found out that I was low on Iron. After adding a Iron supplement, I'm feeling better, less tired. I do feel that taking your Vitamins, B's, and other supplements is very important, you can really feel tired and sluggish if you miss one day of them.

Just went in for my 6 month follow up on March 10, 2014.

I've lost 60lbs, and I feel 110% better than before! I'm finding that I can eat small amounts of anything I want, bread (Dave's Killer bread, thin sliced) is best toasted, and I've learned a sandwich with toasted bread, is really pretty good.

I did start to lose my hair, but found that straight boiten (?) works the best for me, not the hair, skin,nail combo pill. I am getting better at letting my old clothes go, as I still think "what if this doesn't work"? then I laugh and put something else in the Goodwill bag. Now I just need to get the bag to Goodwill! LOL.

I still don't own a scale, tossing around the idea of buying one, as my next appointment isn't until my 1 year date. Oh well, plenty of time to decide.

I will say, it has been hard at times, but the BEST decision I have ever made, and would totally make the same choice again.

      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!!
