What does the challenge consist of...

Start by listing your Surgery date, surgery weight and current weight. Then figure out how many days you have until Thanksgiving and make a goal weight based on the number of lbs you are challenging yourself to lose between now and then. Update each week, probably on Thursdays as our final weigh in is a Thursday. Welcome to your first challenge!

I'm in! Sleeved on 9/25 -

Starting weight 306

Surgery day weight - 287

Current weight - 267

Would like to be 255 by thanksgiving.

I seem to be a slower loser and have already had a stall so I think 12 lbs. is doable

Not me, I am following dietary food plan so I can't change that. I exercise almost daily and am doing my best in that area, I am finding success this way so I will bow out. I also weigh myself only about once every 3 weeks, the numbers on the scale hold too much power for me. My m.o. Is....if the scale does not move I get so upset I eat. I know I can't eat now cause I would baurgh but the mind game that scale sends me to is crazy. I use tight clothes to keep myself in check, over the 3 weeks they get looser & looser. Good luck, you all will do great......

      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!!
