congrats everyone...i am so close to 100..i can't wait to be a part of this club

ousooner..that is amazing...did you exercise? i am just getting into the exercising and it REALLY seems to help.

for the skin elasticity question..i have lost and gained my whole life and my skin was always pretty good at coming back into shape...until now...i am 43 and will definetely need some surgery...i think for me it is my age...although my sis (47) is losing and hers is not as bad.

best of luck all!

Thanks guys. I think the key to my success so far is what I am eating. I have adheared to a strict low carb/low fat/high protien diet. I also eat until I am no longer hungry instead of eating till I am full. That is a huge difference. I am more active, but until about a month ago, I did not have an excercise routine. I joined a gym after christmas and work out abou 4 or 5 days a week. I mainly do treadmill. I am working on running a 5K for Labor day in September. I also do a little ab work on the machines.

      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!!
