Hey August group... It's been 9 months since surgery.. I am down 133 pounds, ND have been stalled at 189 for about 2 months... The main reason is, because I can't exercise currently.. I'm due to see a vascular specialist because my veins stretched so much being so large, and loosing the weight so rapidly they never went back to their original shape. So I have ugly varicose veins in my upper and lower legs, and not only that but there causing circulation issues, and I move my legs all night long due to the constant pain I'm in from them.. They go numb often, and taking a hot bath... Forget it! The heat makes them even worst.. Right now I am being made to wear compression Stockings to help with the circulation, and eventually I am going to need the veins stripped.. Whatever that means lol. I feel great, I haven't gotten a whole lot of energy just yet.. I feel like the same ole me.. However I'm not out of breath doing simple things like I use to.. I still feel tired Alot though, and haven't found anything that super excites me.. I am more in tune with my body now.. I know when I need to up my fluids, and I can't ever miss a dose of B12, cause when I do, the next day is completely awful.. I feel extremely sick.. My levels are great with blood work.. There's nothing I can't eat except milk.. Everything agrees so far, so good. I can do maybe 1/2 cup total of food, depending on the density... I can do 1 egg and a half slice of toast.. 1 Taco, 1/2 lean cuisine Panini... Examples... I drink a lot of Water, or propel zero... Everything else is too sweet... I also drink Alot of coffee.. So bad I know lol... I'm in a size 10 pants, and a large shirt.. Never thought I'd borrow my daughters clothes lol.. I

attached new photos... Oh my hair stopped falling out as well! Biotin 10,000 mcg definitely made a difference!!! How is everyone doing??

You guys look fabulous!!! My surgery was aug 6th. I'm down 98lbs. I couldn't start exercising until i.lost 80lbs due to my back n knees. I still have to be careful. But at least its still coming off. :)

My daughter is only 17 n at age 16 had to have her varicose veins stripped. Don't no why she got them. But dr. Said she was the youngest hed seen. They just go in n strip them n cortarize them.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
