Congratulations.......your right. Now maintenance. And the real test of fears and worry.

I am where you are too and fear of gaining it back is an every hour emotion for me. Even though I am now exercising again. I am worried that it will all come back on me and I will fail....

We are human with a lot of issues to settle and we will battle them constantly.

BUT! we made it and a celebration time has to be enjoyed and then work to keep us there.....You will see some ups and downs over this....

Have a weight that you will not go above. I chose 5 lbs. When I hit that I will buckle down and lose it again........

Your not alone in this part......You have traveled the new road and have succeeded. I am so proud of you and you look so good and happy.. And you should be! You won the battle........And you shall win the war over what brought you here.....

All the best sweetie as you enjoy what is ahead of you! :)

Congrats. All of that in just under a year.

RJ's - that is great advice about picking a weight. When I get to the maintenance point I'm definitely going to remember that little tip.

      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!!
