Have lost only 3 lbs since the first of August. Weight is VERY SLOW to come off now. I have gone back to one and sometimes two shakes per day to try and restart the weight loss. I developed a flare up of plantar fasciitis two days ago and my daily walks are very painful. I need to rest the foot but I am afraid to ease up on the walking for fear of slowing down the weight loss even more.

Jb1176 I hope you feel better, and the best thing would be is to rest! Maybe you could try something else for exercise? Maybe yoga?

7 pounds per month sounds pretty good!

I have been doing well and have gotten under the two's but have begun to slow down. This is where I can now admit that the exercise portion of this journey has to now come into play. I have begun in just this week so that I can keep my momentum going and have been quite happy as to what I have been able to accomplish. A few months ago you couldn't pay me to do anything that included bending, running, walking or breathing :lol:. I have a stationary bike at home and have been able to ride without passing out, I have incorporated some weight lifting and will continue to incorporate some other fitness activities.

Continue the journey all.

Hello all and Happy Surgiversary. I have made it down to 189 without gaining weight. That is good but I have been stalling ..that would be because I have not been as Not that I have lied but have not told everything. to make an appointment with the psychologist as food has been the culprit of weight gain when making healthy choices. I will keep you all informed of this outcome.

Has anyone looked in to getting a waist trainer?? I'm wondering if it would be too much pressure on our stomach? Any thoughts???

Thought about it as well, but have no comment on it just yet.

My weightloss slowed down, and my Dr put me on a reset of the preop diet again. So 4 shakes and Water or broth, or SF popsicles, or SF Jello. for 5 days. I did it!! It brought back the tight restriction. And I lost 6 pounds. But I am down a total of 76 pounds. I wish it was more, like everybody else.

      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!!
