I'm 5' tall and I weighed 233 lbs the first time I saw my surgeon. I lost 12 pounds pre-op. Surgery was May 30' date=' surgery weight 221, current weight 167 (54 lb lost). Total weight loss pre-op and post-op is 66 lbs. I went from tight-fitting sz22 to a comfortable sz16. I'll be happy to lose 25 more pounds - anything more than that is just frosting on the cake!

I am happy as hell! Back pain, knee pain GONE! :-) :-) :-)[/quote']

157.4 this morning. I'm comfortably in a size 14. I'm eyeing the 12's and 10's now - which is new territory for me. I haven't been that small since 1985. :-)

145 today. I'm in a size 12 pants and a medium top. I squeezed into a size 10 pair of jeans the other day - they were snug but I could zip and button them up. So I bought them! By Christmas I should be able to wear them! I'm loving shopping in the petite department - and feeling like I belong there!

I am 2.5 weeks post.. I started my journey at my highest weight of 244lbs. Surgery date 232lbs. Today I am at 210lbs.

Everyone has said they see a difference already. And yes I see my face thinner. But my belly still looks so big. Bigger sometimes. Idk if its still air and fluids. But I know the scale isn't lying so its coming off.... I'm eating mostly liquids. Tons of water... Protein Shake and one small soft meal.

Monday Dec 30 will be exactly seven months from my surgery. I have lost 101 pounds. :-) Everything is going well and I am thrilled with my results. I'm curious how much more I will lose. I'm currently 132 pounds. At 5' tall that is still over the recommended weight range of 105 - 120 that my PCP says is ideal for someone my height. I weighed 115 on my wedding day - I wonder if I will get see that again? It seems possible but I would be happy enough right where I am. Life is good! :-)

The poll is a great idea but perhaps the addition of "considering revision" might help to include everyone.

      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!!
