Oh you will be amazed and so In love with your NEW body. It's still kinda weird. I'm getting better now. When I went shopping like 5 months ago I would still get sizes that are to big. I would think I'm bigger than I was. My starting size was a 24 in plus size pants. And now I'm a 5/6 . Omg I'm happy a healthy. And I know that your going to love it :-)

Thank you all. I know it sounds like I'm gloating but this was work. Just because we are or have had the surgery it's not that easy. I always have to tell my self THIS IS A TOOL. But for now my train of thought is 1 day at a time. The other great this is we have each other. Major support group. I love it :-)

That's awesome! Congrats! I'm 3 1/2 mths out and down 75, I can only hope to have the same success you have. I'm thrilled with the 75 and can't wait to be down another 78 to my goal. Are you strict with your diet? Do you exercise? Thanks for sharing! Your such an inspiration!

Well the 3 things that I have changed in my life style is.... No fast food. Wendy's and ect.. More movement walk, dancing PLAYING.. I hate the word exercise...lol and NO late night snacking. Once you have this down it works. I also try not to eat after 6pm.. The hardest part was reprogramming my BRAIN. And from time to time I do have slip ups. Hope this helps :-)

Thanks for sharing:) You have so much to be proud of because surgery is just a tool and we still have to do the hard work! This is not an easy journey!

      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!!
