post-49456-13813668269832_thumb.jpg Well it is close to my one year surgiversary and I have to say that I have been a total lazy bones the last 3 months and I am kicking myself in the butt for it. I am jumping back on the exercise bandwagon. I gained 3 pounds the last couple of months but I think it is from some medication I have been taking but I should be able to stop in the next week or so. THANK GOD. I know I know 3 pounds big whoop but I still want to lose an additional 15.

It is so great to come back and see everyone that is working their sleeves and giving so much inspiration for those starting their journey. Way to go girls and guys too. Here is a pic from shopping last week. I shop wayyyyyy to much now lol. I never have problems finding something I like. WIsh me luck in getting those pounds off and finally getting motivated again to stay on track. I still eat small portions but I have been craving a ton of carbs, sugars and soda. If I just pay half a bit of attention it is no problem to keep losing. Say a prayer for me please.

Hey welcome back! I was wondering how you've been doing! You look great :)

Have you been drinking soda??? I haven't had one since August 2010, I'm afraid to even try one.

Ahh thanks guys, it is so good to hear that from everyone. Chilo how has your progress been? And you Sleeve 4 me are doing great, I saw your shorts pictures and I too have been wearing some shorts again for the first time in years!

I have been drinking soda but I really don't drink much. I may finish half a can a day. I drink mostly tea and Water.

WOW I am looking at everyone who posted above and your numbers. It is still amazing to me to see the success even though I have lived it. Such inspiration for sure. Keep it up everyone!

You look so awesome!!! I had been wondering how you had been doing. Isn't shopping the bomb? At first it is so intimidating when you realize you can shop in just about any store......and then....it's crazy fun!!!

      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!!
