Just wanted to share my progress so far. 41 pounds gone. Exercising 5x a week.

The left photo was taken the first day of school this year in August 2013. I weighed 369.

The right photo was taken last week because I felt "skinny" for some reason at work. I am now 328.

My surgery was 10/2/13. I still have a lot of work to do, but:

1.) my clothes fit better

2.) I'm rediscovering old clothes I haven't worn in 4-5 years

3.) my shoes fit better!

4.) I'm not tired all the time

5.) people notice my weight loss now

Forty one pounds is awesome! Great job and keep up the good work. Give yourself credit and realize it takes time. I had surgery in October as well. I am so glad I did it and am experiencing some of the things you mentioned (clothes fitting better, feeling better, and people noticing) and it is an awesome feeling. Be proud of yourself!

Fantastic job!!! Don't discount the non-scale victories! Feeling better, moving better, clothes and shoes fitting better...those are just as remarkable as the numbers dropping on the scale! Keep it up, sister :)

Great job! You should feel soooo proud of yourself! 41lbs is AMAZING! Don't cut yourself short, be positive and pat yourself on the back, you're working hard and it shows. The positive thinking will help you continue down the road to your goal! Great job!

So happy for you! I like #4 -- not feeling tired all the time. That feels like the key to everything, doesn't it? Having the energy to make good choices, to be active and happy in our lives. Yippee! Keep at it -- you are doing beautifully.

Believe me I am not discounting myself at all. I do feel so much BETTER!

I just meant that it's not as much as some other people that post pictures of themselves on here (like 100 pounds). Don't worry, I'm proud of my 41 pounds.

Just had a fill yesterday. At 6/10cc now. I'm hoping to me down to 50 pounds by Feb. 1st. :)

By the way! I found a GREAT free app last night. You document pictures of yourself and share them with others on their weight loss journey. It is great encouragement.

The app is called: Weilos

      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!!
