I'm in! My surgery is 9/24; I'm 5'2" and I have over 100 to lose; Great idea since 10lbs to a short person is vastly different compared to a tall person!

Technically I'm 5'2" 3/4. Depending on who's measuring I get labeled wither 5'2" or 5'3". (I also think it depends on how high my hair is sitting that day :D :P ;-) Doing well but I was super obese so I still have a ways to go.

Don't get discouraged. Measure your waist. You may find that you are losing inches.

Thanks! I've yet to get a measuring tape so I'll get that. Woo it is tough. Going to run by the river every weekend and see if that helps. The struggle is realllll

My 52 pounds includes my two week pre-op diet which I started May 26th. At the one month mark I started adding In different Proteins. I have added different foods each week. Sometimes I am ready for them and sometimes not. My body lets me know. The key for me has been logging my food. Knowing how much I am getting in Protein, carbs, fats. Now each day I get my Proteins, dairy, two veggies, two fruits. I haven't found room yet for grains, but that will come.

      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!!
