Hi everyone!!

Few reminders...it's NEVER too late to join in. Just post your current weight and then your goal weight. When I like your post, it has been added to the spreadsheet. Please post in this thread as well...It is too difficult to look in a third place for PM weigh ins. A lot of the time, entering the numbers takes forever because the site it's hosted from is up and down. So it continually freezes up on me. Although today it was a breeze..knock on wood!!

Also, I'm no excel wiz. I know the very basic functions. If anyone else wants to take the time to do what Bea used to with the border crossings, I say go for it! I have little kids, so my time is pretty monopolized right now. Once school is back in session, I should have some more time to do that.

Also, we've had amazing progress you guys!! Saw some pretty big losses, same numbers as previous week, and small losses. Remember....any progress is better than no progress or going backwards.

I'm 10 months post up on this upcoming Tuesday and let me tell you...the losses are hard fought now. I work pretty hard to get each pound off. But...it's also about balance too. Learning how to balance life, food, fluids, exercise, family, job, and other responsibilities is always tough for any of us...but the key is balance.

As long as you are not going back to pre surgery bad habits..., all of your efforts, actions, mindfulness, and choices ARE progress!!! So many of us find ourselves striving for perfection....but we are human. And what we really need is just some balance.

Ok...that's my weekly message. You can find me on Instagram at gomekast. Search user and I will come up.

Have a great rest of the week, make it a good one!!

Well I want to say that I will be getting my scale this weekend so I can keep a better count of my weight loss. The digital scale is sending me off. I just wanted to post to say I am still in the game. Lol

Happy Monday morning! I didn't make the best food choices this week nor did I exercise, so I was a little apprehensive this morning but....

146.8!

I just might make my goal for Labor Day! Thanks again for taking over. These challenges actually help me get out of bed on Mondays! :)

      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!!
