I guess I had a brain fart because I was thinking this was the Easter challenge-- guess I should read the thread subject closer. I've been so busy catching up from getting back from my trip to Europe... I actually gained some weight while over there, but that was to be expected because I was wanted to experience all that Europe had to offer. I'm not going to change my ticker because I see this as only a temporary set back and prove I can get back on track even when things go awry. The good thing is the sleeve kept me from eating large quantities even if the food selections weren't always the best choice.

So it has been about two weeks since I last logged here.

Two weeks ago: 155 lbs

Last week: 152.6 lbs

This week: 151 lbs

Slowly but surely I am going to leave the 150s. Can I lose 11 lbs in 4 weeks? Maybe. Gotta get in some more cardio!

I gained 3# in Fluid this week with my cycle, so I didn't know if I would see a loss or not. The fluid did leave though and from Friday to Saturday the scale went down 2 more #.

SW 155.2 CW 150.6 GW 144.2 Pounds to lose by Memorial Day-- 6.4

I lost 2 pounds this week. Yay! I am keeping on keeping on and it is slowly coming off. We have about three weigh in's left in the challenge. I dont know if I will make it to my goal of 144 by then but every pound is a step closer to it. I am about a half a pound to the 140's yay! Keep it up peeps, we are doing great!

It is a very slow process in losing the last few lbs. My weigh in on Saturday was 150 lbs. My challenge is to get to 146 lbs. So I only have 4 more lbs to go. So what do you all think? Should I increase my calories and keep them in the 1000 to 1200 range, or should I decrease the calories to jolt my system? What works for you? It would be a blessing to be in the 140's. ;)

      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!!
