I started at 256 on 11/15. Since then I've only lost 45 pounds. Seeing the weight loss in my face, I just wish it was coming off quicker. My friend had her surgery not even a month ago and is down almost the same amount. She started off at 313 but it still frustrates me that it's not comin off a fast for me

Only 45 lbs?!? Never say "only"...that's a HUGE accomplishment..and be proud! You look great! Keep up the good work and don't compare your loss to others . Everyone looses at their own pace. Keep doing what your doing and you will make goal!!! :-)

Yay! My stall finally broke after 4 looong weeks. I have lost 3 more lbs (and hope it continues). I am back on the road to success. I did make changes by upping my Water and Protein intake like others had suggested.

12 is my goal size! I went from a 26 and now in an 18 :-) luckily in tall...so I "carry my weight" well. My goal weight (190) is as high as some folks starting weights lol ...but as long as I look good and feel good the numbers don't matter

the american heart association says girth under 35 inches means you have a better chance of survival, so i think i will go with that for a goal but but i will be very happy with any size that dosn't start with an X.

      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!!
