Maybe around 320lbs... and the after pic was taken June 13th, around 299 lbs... I say around because I didnt need no scale before to tell me my weight and i dont need one now... I refuse to be a slave to the scale... because if i had one i would be... Ill let my doctor do the weighing in!!!!!! I see him on tuesday... i hope to be around 295 by then... My highest weight was 344 around March... so i think im on track well!!

I LOVE your attitude! I tell women all the time...stop weighing yourself every single day! They worry so much about stalls and one pound fluctuations..but in the grand scheme of things, the weight will come off and there are so many other things to stress about... you look awesome! Good job!

Thanks for this post. I have def become a slave to the scale & get alittle worked up when there's only a 10th of a lb decrease or something. Then my rational side reminds me that the weight is coming off & I'm doing what I'm supposed to do & following my diet. Thanks for the reminder !!!????????

Congratulations! You're well on your way!! I only let my doctor weigh me for the first year. I had the same opinion as you...I would not be a slave to the scale and obsess about it. Good job!

      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!!
