Good Grief! You look fantastic but I have to ask... how on earth did you lose almost 100 pounds in only four months? I know I've read other similar posts but, man, my surgery was on Nov.23 (just a few days after yours) and I'm only down about 37 pounds. I know we all lose differently along with having different stats. I'm 47 years old, 5'9'' tall, and started at 250 pounds. Frustrating but I know it'll eventually come off.

Congrats again on your wonderful accomplishment.

Petra

Petra-

My surgeon seems to think my success is pretty closely related to my age. He was shocked with my results so far, as I have been. Also, I started at a much higher weight (and shorter height!) than you, so your 37 pounds lost puts you not far from me on the scale. You should be so amazingly proud of yourself for everything u have accomplished and will continue to accomplish!

      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!!
