:clap2: Well,

A year is almost around the corner for us I would like to congratulate everyone for making it this far. I would love to hear the STATS on everyone if it is possible. Let's all shout out how well we have done!

It has been an incredible journey for me! I can't believe I made it to my goal in August. Relearning how to eat has helped me so much in respecting what I put in my mouth and in my system and being able to eat healthy food and enjoy it, every morsel, is incredible to me as well.

I never thought I could survive without fast foods. Maintenance has been a little difficult for me. It is actually hard to keep the weight on. I lost my father on Sept. 16th of this year and I can't believe I lost 3 more pounds. Under stress I have only ever gained weight and now the tables are turned. I believe I AM ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY!

My Stats

Surgery November 10, 2005

Starting Weight : 251

Ending Weight: 139

No Fills

I reached my goal in August, 2006

God Bless,

Josephine

      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!!
