This will be my first challenge. I hope it's not too late to join. I'm going to adjust my goal according to the shortened time frame compared to if I started on Valentine's Day.

My starting weight: 232

Current weight: 198

Goal weight: 178

Goal to lose: 20

I am around 209 right now (before pre-op liquid diet I was 228). My goal from here is 99 lbs total weight loss. I am 5' 0" soooo a shorty! :)

Well, it's up to you. I'm sure you'll meet the goal if you set it high, but like you said you also don't want to push yourself. I think in the beginning your body is just doing whatever it wants because it's recovering from the shock of surgery. You will still lose a lot of weight, though.

Also, good luck! I hope you have a speedy recovery :)

Darn it - all week long I've been 145 and then this morning (on my weigh in day for this challenge) it's 146. Well, I'm using 145 and hopefully that pound was just a Fluid fluke this morning. If not, and it sticks around, I'll let you know next week.

      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!!
