Recommended Posts

I would like to join too!

CW. 226.6

GW 210

I have been losing slowly recently

Goals

64 oz in daily & increase Protein intake

Start working out - so tired that I haven't started yet

CW 216.6 down 10# since start of challenge! Yay!!!

Going to the gym tomorrow And doing a bit better on my protein and liquid intake. Looks like it may have been out of my control why i have had so many problems with getting in food and liquid. Had my 3 mos check up yesterday and dr said sleeve is narrowing, so I go back in on the 10th for egd if I still am feeling the same restriction and acid.

I finally lost something this week! Apparently I have to push really hard physically. My last two stalls finally broke with serious physical exercise. The first time was with a 5 hour hike. This time it was with a mini Tri on sat. My right knee is not so happy, but yay scale movement!

SW: 164 CW: 161 GW: 149

What the F was I thinking when I set that goal weight?!?! Sheesh

Well, finally back down a little.

Starting Weight 7/4: 275

Today's Weight 7/23: 268.8

Goal Weight 9/2: 260

I seem to be in this cycle of losing for a few days in a row then gaining a little of it back over a few days and then maintaining and then losing. Kind of strange, but as long as I lose more than I gain, then I guess the scale is still going the right direction. I really hope that the goal of 260 is attainable. It should be, who knows, maybe I can even get to 250 which would be amazing. It would be 100 down from my highest weight and 77 from the beginning of my pre-op diet on the 14th of April.

Well not too successful a week! I gained back two of the three and a half pounds that I lost the first week :angry: Back on track for now... was eating out a lot and not exercising. Remember, as Roseanne says, "The only one who can defeat me is me!"

      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!!
