Hello,

I am 41 days out of surgery, and 33 pounds down. I love every minute of every day. I still have some hard times but, over all it's going great.

So, how old are you? How long are you out of surgery? && what are your biggest struggles?

I'm 27 and a year out May 7th. Life has been great :-D but my biggest struggle is head issues. Seeing the new me... I still see the 360lb me. Getting over emotional eating.

Hi! I'm 9 months out on the 25th. Down 146lbs. Married with a 3 year old, I work full time, grad student (graduating May 3rd!!!!!) and have been working a second job in my career field 20 hrs a week. Please don't ask me how I do it.... Only God knows!!! Lol so with all that said... Getting all my Protein in, staying hydrated, and keeping an exercise routine has been so hard. I make sure everything I eat has Protein. I always have a case of Water in the trunk, and Im always walking, hiking, and keeping busy when I have down time with my munchkin. Life under 250 lbs is great compared to misery at 389 lbs.

Surgery date 7/25/12

      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!!
