Wow, you've made great progress! Jessica, how much Water are you getting in daily and when did your hair begin shedding? I'm almost 4 weeks out and would love to have the type of success that you're having in the same amount of time. Congrats!!!

I loved the normal slim fast shakes so I imagine the high Protein ones are really good too. I'm going to try them. They have some carbs in them but I'm not necessarily on an extremely low carb diet anyway.

Congratulations! That's fantastic! How is the skin situation. I've heard some horror stories from people who say it hangs and others don't. Any secrets? Blessings~

Hey everyone,

So I don't really have a lot of tips. I just get in a lot of Water and try to get in enough Protein everyday. I haven't even really been working out much and im still losing. So im not sure how. I am starting to notice that my skin is getting that stretched out look somewhat on my stomach and arms. Its worse on my arms than anywhere else. So I need to start toning that. I actually just weighed myself this morning and am down 4 more pounds now. So 111 lost so far! :)

      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!!
