Way to go CF, sometimes I feel that I should have lost more than I have after 10 months, but for me it isn't the scale that is telling, it is my quality of life. (I am jealous of the running though ;) ) But your story puts my mind back on track...

Happy bandiversary and thank you for continuing to support this forum. Many band veterans drift away--and that's normal-- but there are a handful of you who check in and light the way for those of us who are still learning our bands. Thank you for being one of these gentle and inspirational voices. Now go out and Celebrate your milestone anniversary!

Catfish, Missy, CG and others who post their inspirational stories and answers to questions... I am so thankful for all of you and hope that when I have a 4 year anniversary I am able to come on here and inspire others.. I am so much happier and healthier than I was this time last year.. after years of being miserable, unhealthy and just plain tired I have a new exciting lease on life.. I got discouraged with some of the negative post on this new forum but when I see some of my favorite people still posting and keeping it going I think I will try to hang in there. Thanks Again guys,, Hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving.

      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!!
