Hey all, how is everyone? I haven't posted in awhile and really missed reading everyone's updates. Hope everyone is doing good. Well here is a quick up date about me. I had my surgery(bypass) August 15th 2013 highest wt 297 surgery wt 282. Was a tight size 24/26 jeans & 3/4x tops As of today a little over six months post-op I broke into wONEderland! Current wt 196 and wearing a size 16 jeans & large top. 14 more lbs until I've lost 100lbs! Oh and hair still falling out... I'm just wondering how long I will continue to lose weight as I'm also 14 weeks prego! I'm glad I didn't get rid of all of my bigger clothes, now I don't have to buy to many maternity clothes lol! Keep positive everyone ♡

Congrats on the pregnancy and making it to onederland!

Hey everyone how you all doing? I am at 205lbs today. Dwn from 350lbs at my highest dwn not quite 100lbs from surgery. Feeling great. I have an amazing bf and family. My mom just had double mastectomy on Friday so glad she made it through that. I have my biopsy of liver tomorrow and I'm extremely scared to find out what's going on plus scared of how bad that's gna hurt... Anyways how's everyone doing? I'm in a size 10/12 and wearing anywhere between m-XL shirts :-) I do have some bad excess skin but it's slowly tightening up... Hopefully it'll tighten up more. How's everyone tho ?

Hello there! I hope the biopsy went well! I'm praying for you and your Mom! I'm doing good! I'm down about 70 something pounds. I don't weigh in that often I tend to measure by clothes. I've had to get a whole new wardrobe! I'm wearing large tops and dresses and size 12/14! I'm still wearing 14 petite jeans and refuse to buy a 16 anything or an XL. I've found that shopping is harder than usual because I don't know what department to go to but I'll figure it out. I'm wearing my heels again. The higher the better! I was previously wearing 2X, 18-22 so I'm happy for the change. Granted any 18s were really old and use to my body. Congrats on your weightloss! You're doing great!

Hi! Things are going well. I still get nervous that I will slip into old habits. Since no diet was ever successful I worry. I have been feeling hungrier lately.

I am down 88 from surgery, 115 since the start of my journey 3/22/2013. Clothes are strange...I fit into different sizes. I have pants that are 12 and some 14. My shirts are still big xl. Measurement wise I haven't lost anything into chest so that could be why!

I wish I knew how much I was down now! I'm in India and have a feeling I lost a few during the trip here and since I have been. It messed my eating patterns all up and it's tough to get in enough Protein here. I think the trip reset my pouch though as I seem to be less hungry and eating less to get full as well.

Before I left I was down 102 from highest, and 72 since surgery.

Can I just say how happy I am for restriction? I've been struggling lately and sometimes eating things I would be better to leave alone (carbs), but thankfully I can never eat more than a few bites. I know I have to work on my mind to get back on track, but I am so happy that restriction is keeping me from completely sabotaging myself. Now to snap out of this funk!

      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!!
