I've plateaued for over a month, and instead if feeling down about it, I wanted to share a little about how my life has changed in the past 3 months:

* Went from a 4x to a 2x in tops

* Went from a 26/28 to a 22 in bottoms

* I can fit in chairs with arms

* I can fit in a stadium seat

* I can fit in a movie theater seat

* I can fit in a restaurant booth

* I went roller skating

* I can run after my 4 year old at the park

* I don't sweat profusely anymore

* I can use a backseat seatbelt, and fit in the backseat of a car

* Training for a 5k. What?!!

* I can still breathe when I bend over to tie my shoes

* I put a recent picture of myself on Facebook, lol

I know there are more, but this is a huge difference for me. I used to stay indoors all the time, I would get winded from short walks and my body would hurt so bad with any physical activity. I stayed away from a lot of social activities because of my size. I'm not afraid to try something new now. I know it's super cliche, but I feel like I have my life back. :)

wonderful... it's great that you are so positive... I think sometimes we get so wrapped up in the number on the scale we forget there are other great things that can happen.. Best of luck to you in the future.. I think you will be successful as long as you stay positive...

      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!!
