104 lbs difference between the 2 sets
138 lbs dropped total for both WLS's
78 lbs dropped since March 2nd 2018

I've had setbacks that lasted years. I've had times where I felt like a failure. I've have times where I'd given up. But I didn't accept any of that BS.

It's not how we fall, it's how we get back that matters.
Even if you've given up right now... unless you are dead, you can still get up, dust off and get back on track.

Huge CONGRATS to all of you!!!! You are ALL killing it. @Matt Z thank you for posting this today. I just had my second post op with my surgeon. NP said I am clear of restrictions at this point and I can start working out, just have to take it slow. Viewing this thread has lit a fire under my A$$ like you wouldn't believe. Thank you ALL for your accomplishments and your motivation!!!!!!

CONGRATS!!

That's not tape. Those are tattoos. And it's like a car crash or a train wreck... it's just tough to look away.

Long story short, I **HATED** my nipples, so I crossed them off.

      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!!
