Hi I'm new to the forum want to know how do this challenge work so I can't start next time

At the first of the month we post our starting weights and goals and each week we post our current weight. I will compile all of the weights into a table and post a link for everyone to see, that is if I don't forget or run out of time on the weekend. To make things easy we always weigh in on the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 30th of each month. Feel free to join in. Copy the data from the very first message in this topic and fill in your personal information. I will update the table this weekend and add you. Be sure to post an introduction.

Between Mother's Day and other commitments this weekend I was not able to update the table over the weekend. I will try to get to it during the week but it may be next weekend before I actually get time.

It is tomorrow, but some people have trouble following directions ;) . The weigh-ins date's are all irrelevant anyway since they all get put on the table no matter when you weigh in. So if the weigh in is on Tuesday and you want to weigh in on Monday or any other day, go for it.

      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!!
