Good Morning I love sharing my story Start wt-246Current-119Ive lost more than I currently weigh!!I'm in A size 2 and extra small tops. It's amazing.

You would think after losing 127 lbs and having my sleeve for 14 months I would get used to the side by side but I still don't recognize myself.

What was your starting weight and have you reached your goal? Do you work out?

Sorry for the questions but you are very insipiring! I am 9 days post op and so WOW by your transformation!

What was your exercise regime like?

When I made the decision to have weightloss surgery it wasn't just to lose weight. I also wanted to gain back who I lost in those 246. part of that was letting go of the food and constantly remind myself I am way more worthy than a cheeseburger or chocolate shake. I deserve to enjoy what I want in moderation. I lost really fast and had most of my weight gone by 8 or 9 months. Again, I stopped focusing on food. I keep myself accountable and the second I feel out of control I confide in someone. I know that sounds weird but it's my way of reminding myself that I will NOT hide and eat after everyone goes to bed. Hope that helps. :)

I hate this question mostly because I should have done things different but with a full time career, 5 children and no energy due to low caloric intake I never have exercised through this process. I do have a ton of skin but not sure exercising would have made that big of a difference. I have no regrets and I think If it's successful you're doing it the right way.

I was educating my best friend about the surgery, showing her this site. She wanted to look at before and after pics. Yours is one of the best. You looked lovely, and very happy in your before picture, but you are radiant in your after pic. It is very inspirational for those of us heading into this.

      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!!
