Lydia,

Congrats! You look fabulous and you've really rocked your sleeve to get to a 22 BMI and 150 lb.s gone in a year! Thank you for sharing your story- you are an inspiration to me. I'm so glad to hear you are not having trouble maintaining your weight. It's one of my biggest fears that I will regain weight. It's so good to know that for some people, that's not an issue.

OMG, Luvinit! You look fantastic! Just the glow in your face is amazing to see!! Even better is the dress you are wearing in the second picture. One of the gals who attends my WLS Support group has a dress that is very similar to that one and has offered it to me when she's shrinks out of it! It's my mental "goal" to be able to wear that dress, which she says is a size 16! I am working hard to get there, still in about a 22/24, but its' amazing to see it on someone else...and in a smaller size! Woo Hoo!!!

You've done an incredible job and you look amazing!!!

      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!

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
