Awesome job! Thanks for the photos. And you can join me in the "never-puked-since-being-sleeved" club. I'm almost 2 years post-op and it hasn't happened to me yet! ;)

Knock on wood..

I never puke.. I hate it..

That is funny because it is on my all-time list of most hated things. I was considering the band (before I learned about the sleeve) and then I found out that sometimes if food doesn't go down it comes back up...and I could never wrap my mind around that.

I think if you are this far out and it hasn't happened yet, it's not going to! B)

Was that your highest weight or the weight on the day of surgery. Could you give an idea of what your daily menu is as well as your physical activity so I can copy your plan!!

My weight was 347, day of surgery was 336, I count the start of my journey as my start weight.. I honestly don't have a magical diet, I stay very active.. And pretty much eat what I want.. My portions are tiny, but I feel the key to my success is activity..

Ok, ok, I have to add my WOWS and congrats, as well. You've done amazingly. But I have to add for the ladies...men have it all over us in the weight loosing department, so don't expect similar results. I'm not diminishing your efforts, which had to be great or you would not have been so successful. Ya dun good!!

      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!!
