I was 130kgs. I have lost approx 55kgs. I am currently 74kgs and still going strong! Struggling with the last 14kgs but I'm getting there! Here are my two before and two after!

The first picture is a few months before my surgery and the second picture was from a few months ago (about 4 years post op). I was around 296lbs in the first picture and 165 in the second. I am currently at 160lbs -28 years old.

Just broke 100 lbs lost.

Oh jeez! 🙄 Life right now could have not been further off track for me. Here is the sum of all that's happened in a week!
1. I lost my 2-year Marketing Specialist job here in Dubai, United Arab Emirates - my role due to COVID is REDUNDANT and no longer required as APPRENTLY they don't have enough $$$ - but i know the whole story at the back end and who said what and all the politics.
2. I was on a weight-loss stall which FINALLY got over but then ^^^ that happened
3. I started feeling sick especially because i started vomiting up at least once a day
4. WHICH LED TO ME GETTING COVID 19 because HEY! us bariatric pals don't have a good immune system!
So post op almost 2 months and IM SUPER SICK! i have Asthma as well. I have alllll the covid symptoms you can think of and I'm isolated in my home.
Thankfully all my close contacts are fine but MAN O MAN does covid suck more when u CAN'T EAT ANYTHING! All I want is a big ass burger and a milkshake or SOME SORT OF SAVORY food item but i can't even keep down Protein let alone SOUP! It's been horrible - my nutritionist said i should just try to EAT or DRINK whatever i can at this moment. But
BUT! there is a brighter yet a little worrying side. Ive lost about 3kgs! in 3 days. (sorta happy in a selfish way) but i have such a strong feeling ill gain it back as soon as I'm covid free.
but hey! 1.5 months and I've lost nearly 20 kgs! WOOT WOOT! haha.. trying to not die between these 4 walls so I'm trying to look at the brighter side. However every inch of my body hurts as i cough up a storm.
Is anyone in a situation like me? I hope not but if u are - let's relate?
Btw i posted an image here pre-op in my first post ever id like to post it again next to a recent one -> could use the motivation to stay breathing
1. Me at 130kgs 2. Me at 116 kgs same dress

3. Me at 113kg

Right here with you! - Some foods go down easier than others. I have to constantly remind myself even if I'm extremely busy to CHEW and to SLOW down between bites and to enjoy - we gastric surgery people in the first few months can only eat a few bites during a sitting - might as well chew those bites and enjoy right?
^ ill be reminding myself this each and every time. If I go to fast *like i did today without realizing* it all comes back out as fast as it went in. When that happens I barely reach 400 calories for that day because it just ruins my appetite for the whole day. So eating slowly bite by bite and chewing is certainly the way to go!

I'm so sorry that you are sick!!! I absolutely love your positive, roll with it attitude though!! That spunk is going to help you heal, and also help you get a new job!!! Best of luck!!!!

I remember your first post of the before pic! You look great! Sorry, you feel like crap, but eat what you can and stay hydrated! How about Jello or pudding (SF, of course!). Take care of yourself!!
