Thanks guys :D There are times when I thought I never would get there, been hard work, but all worth it, I still look in the mirror and see myself as I was before, only in photos do I see what I look like now, thats abit strange I guess seeing yourself for so long as I was has warped my vision somewhat. Thats why I did the one leg pic, also that and my nephews thought it would be hilarious cos its like "the biggest loser" :)

@coops Im not sure what is the best thing, as there are so many, I actually can enjoy food now without over doing it, I dont feel like I am a slave to it, i eat to live not live to eat, I like going into stores and buying the same size as most other people, not being as shy when meeting new people, sitting where I want without fear that I wont fit or the chair may not be sturdy enough, also just having more energy to do things are the best things about getting to my goal.

I love this board, great to see everyone from pre sleeve to goal weights and beyond, just reading what people say, their obstacles makes you feel not alone, nor are you going crazy, im def stick around :D If I can do it, anyone can and I cant wait to be there at the finish line for all of you! xoxo

      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!!
