A little over 3 months post-op and I hit my first goal this morning with a total loss of 50 lbs (20 pre-surg, 30 post). It's coming off verrrrrry slowly, but I don't mind any more. This is the most I've ever lost in one go-round and it's so uplifting to know that these pounds will never, ever come back! Ordered a Fitbit this morning as my reward. Now I'm ready to start on the next 50!

Starting weight: 274

Size 22W/24W Bottom, 1-2X Top

Current weight: 224

Size 16W Bottom, M-L Top

Fantastic. What a difference! I have a Fitbit (got one for me, my husband and my sister). My husband and I use it to "compete" against one another! It's really got him moving, and I find myself doing more exercise too, just to stay ahead of him!

Great work! Keep it up!

You look fantastic. You were really pretty in your pre-op heavier photo too. I love your hair.

I just hit my 50 lb milestone and am about 3 months out as well. Feels great. Congratulations!!

      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!

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
