So glad to read these posts!!! I did chicken out and cancelled my appointment to see the dr on July 1st! Had myself convinced I could do this on my own! Well it turned 100 degrees outside and of course I didnt walk like I told myself I would and went right back to eating junk!!! So the dr rescheduled my appointment for July 30th! I am going to have this done and I will succeed! Will it kill me..... Uh yes haha!

A little history... I had my first child at 17 and gained 64 lbs bring me up to 224lbs at delivery. Well that was 22 years and 2 more children ago!! I now am at my heaviest and weigh 275lbs! I never lost a pound of my first baby weight and it has been 22 years since I have been under 200 lbs! I have to do this for me and my health! Will it be hard yes!!! But will I succeed....darn straight! So good luck to you and know you are not alone!

Honey, it is time for you to lose that "baby fat"! You can do this! Stick to your guns. Just think how proud your kids will be of you for your resolve, determination and for finally doing something for YOU (and them too!).

And they can finally meet the "skinny you" that has been living inside their "big mama" all these years! :P

I'm so excited. Ready for next Friday to come and start healing. I'm starving on this 2 week pre diet, but oh well. I will make it. I haven't cheated at all!

Has anyone had Hair loss? ? And I'm very worried about charting my dieting! I diet all the time with no significant weightloss and God knows I don't keep dates! They want me to be very specific for the last 3 to 4 years. What do I do?

      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!!
