You said it! What are your stats (age, height, weight)? I am 28, @ about 250, and 5'5". I've had 4 kids (one set of twins and a singleton in the past 2 years!). Have been big my whole life but lost down to about 150 twice in my life. It never lasted longer than a yr or so though and I was miserable (starving and exercising like crazy, throwing up and all tht bs)

And yeah...weight creeps on. People always say you don't wake up fat...but you kind of do. You kno you're gaining weight, but it doesn't really hit you until one day. You wake up and its like "holy ****, I weight -______ amount. My clothes don't fit. What have I done?!"

Hey! Have you got your plane ticket yet? If so what airline do you pick. I'm flying out of ATL and can't find any "cheap" flights

I do have tickets (2, one for hubby). They aren't cheap at all! I don't get sky miles or anything like that. I think I got them on expedia for like $580 ballpark figure. So about 1200 for two tix. Very expensive (to me).

      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!!
