I have set several goals for myself most are based on the BMI chart getting from one level to the next. The only goal that is not based on that is getting under 200 pounds and I am so close I can hardly stand it. I am going to a personal trainer and I love her and love going, I just added a third day a week starting next week to get this ball rolling faster. The weight is coming off at a decent rate but the inches are coming off faster due to the exercise.

5 pounds from next goal of being under 200 pounds, it's been many, many years since that has been seen.

I received a call from regular doctor that my blood work was back and I can STOP taking my cholesterol medicine. My numbers were awesome!!! This was one of my goals and I am SO happy, I was dancing around the kitchen and had to call my husband at work. Today was my three month anniversary from surgery and I couldn't be happier. Down 62 pounds, exercising five days a week and making myself a priority. Life is good.

That's fantastic! Your weight loss is impressive and the fact that you're putting yourself first will guarantee that you have continued success. :D

That is great! I have a question was that 62 lbs since surgery or from the start of the per op diet?

      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!!
