111 pounds gone FOREVER! I am 10 pounds passed my original "goal"! I have NEVER felt so amazing & am so in love with the new me!

HOWEVER' date=' there is one VERY BIG problem-- I am now a SHOPAHOLIC hahaha! My hubby has decided to pull the purse strings a little tighter, because I seem to get carried away! This is coming from the girl who HATED, & I mean HATED to shop! I would get anxiety and usually cry in the dressing rooms! There was actually a few times that my husband would come into the dressing rooms to try to encourage me & keep me in good spirits- NOW, he refused to come shopping with me because I fall in love with everything I try on LOL! He says "i'm not needed for moral support anymore" & he is right! AHHH, what a FABULOUS year!

Start weight- 249.8

CURRENT- 139.0

Start BMI- 48.6

CURRENT- 27.1[/quote']

Omg sooo happy for you (tears) I'm scheduled for 11/29 and I'm terrified.... Not of commitment but of actual surgery/anesthesia... Any advise? I'm a 42 yr old mom/ nurse and I think it's all the "what if's" I am however looking forward to start a healthy happy active life..... U look amazing congratulations!!!

I exercise about 4 days a week for 2-3 hours a day! I was strict for the first 6 months, then slowly started to add "not very good" stuff, but only when I "needed" the taste! However, I eat healthy bout 97% of the time ;-)

OMG girl, you look great! You have a beautiful family and I could hardly believe your before and after pics! I bet your hubby is so proud! I see the results of everyone's weight loss, but this still seems like a dream that is unreal to me. After being overweight for so long, I can't imagine the possibility of fitting into smaller clothes. I guess I just look at pictures and hope for the best for myself, but in the back of my mind is the lingering thought that this too might fail. It's journey's like yours that gives me hope and keeps me pushing! I am so happy for you! As Dora says, "You Did It"!

      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!!
