New Years Day Challenge (I only weigh in on Thursday's so final WI would Actually be 1/3 but close enough!) I am hoping to loose 15lbs from today's weight of 253.6 (11/15/12). This goal would put me at 238.6, a weight loss total of 64.4 :)

(Okay, so typing the numbers out was extremely humiliating- so much so that I cried. Am I alone in how ashamed I am? This is an awful feeling- especially when so many others are so very small in comparison! It feels hopeless!)

It is NOT hopeless by any measure. None of us were where we wanted to be weight-wise and this seemed hopeless to us. But now we're rockin' our sleeve and making progress every month. If you haven't already done so, take your measurements now. I really wish I had done that early on. Also take some pictures or graph your numbers. The progress will astound you and keep you pumped. So don't cry, sweetie. Congratulate yourself on having made this awesome decision and commit yourself to making it work. You've already amazed me and there will be much more to celebrate!

      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!!
