3 things hmmm...........

Monitor calories and Protein daily...a must (currently 1200 cals/ ~80g's)

Exercise daily 30-60 min (maybe 1 day off a week)

Adjust your attitude and embrace the new you, be honest with you and others about your journey.

Hi my husband who is not on this forum wants to know how tall you were (so it's okay for me to post in the men's forum since I'm just parroting this words): )

His highest weight was 298, he lost down to 278 on DOS, and is now 248, and he's 6 feet tall. We're trying to figure out what his goal weight should be, and since your starting weight was close to his, he is very curious.

YOU LOOK AMAZING by the way (That's me, not him).

Truly impressive. thanks for the advice too. Now you can go rock the dog pound. I am 6 weeks out and working hard with the same rules. Fortunately i love exercise. I am only able to get 1000 calories a day ( max) but i make 100gm Protein. i suppose with time that will change.

With the exception of the Brown's jersey, you look great!

Congrats!

If you want to look better, get a Broncos jersey.

      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!!
