Never in my wildest dreams did I EVER think I would be writing this post! My one year bandiversary is June 27th and I hit my 100lb' date=' actually 101lb, loss this morning!!!! I am over the moon happy with all the wonderful changes in my life! I am finally living again, and for the first time in a long, long, long, while I actually feel comfortable in my own skin.

For all of you newbies out there reading this I encourage you to keep the faith and stay strong in your long journey to your goal. It is SOOOOOO worth it.

By the way, I had a breast reduction and abdominoplasty 3 weeks ago and am so happy with the results!!!

My best wishes to all bandsters out there!!!!!

Ha! I've been there.....convinced the scale is broken!!!!! lol I'm 54 and have dieted since I was in third grade! I've finally learned that consistency over time is the key to reaching your goal. it seems like simple advice, but just like what your experiencing now with your stubborn scale, don't give in to temptation, just keep plugging along doing the right thing and you WILL reach your goal!!

Yes it did! My surgeon reminded me on my last visit how I cried like a baby having only lost 4lbs the FIRST momth!!!! My average was around 7 or 8lbs per month.

      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!!
