I think your goals are great it sounds like you are on the right path.

I do have to say that I am cracking up at the idea of you buzzing around the Costo and eating samples for lunch! :thumbup1: Your idea is brillant I just don't live/work close enough to one for it to work for me!

Keep us update I am hoping for surgery the end of June! :biggrin0:

I have lost 70 lbs since starting the pre-op diet and surgery on April 10th. I was so ecstatic to drop below 400lbs. I have found myself taking the stairs, just because I can :thumbup:. I relalized last week that I had lost a 10 year old boy (Brother's girlfriend's son weighs 65lbs :scared0:). I am hoping to also loose at least 100 lbs this year, hopefully more, but I'm trying to keep my goals obtainable.

Good luck everyone on your WLgoals.

I would like to reached my goal in 1 year...but i'm gonna have to step it up! I've lost 90 lbs in about 6 months...my goal weight is 175...anything under 200 would be great by christmas! I have NOT exercised at all until this week, my blood pressure drops like crazy and I get all dizzy, so I started taking B12 shots...I started Water exercises--and they seem to be working, I'm all sore for the 2nd day in a row. Just realized today that I can actually do my Wii fit now, I never did it before because of the weight limit...guess that excuse is over and I'll have to give it a try! lol.

Good luck on your goals Boredoncemore! I am going to see my doc to see if my B-12 is ok, I don't feel quite as spry as I did just after surgury.

      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!!
