'Tis the season!

For the first time in decades, last Friday night I went to dinner in a beautiful linen sleeveless dress.

I still can't believe I did it.

And no, my arms did not look great. But they didn't look nearly as horrific as a year ago. And I was proud of myself and my arms.

You are leading the way!!

Better to have loose skin on the arms than fat, sausage arms. I am self conscious of my arms but they look better than when they were fat. I'm planning to wear a tank top this summer.

@@VSGAnn2014 Hi. I am so proud of you, and happy for you! You've surpassed your goal! Good for you!

One of us--that would be me--well, I've been naughty and hit a Carb binge. Doing well today though. Still want to lose 20 more. Overall, from 271 to 185-190. I want 165-170.

Again, proud of you!

Thank you, Dr-Patient.

:)

I am very happy. And a little nervous. This is an awkward, unusual place for me to be -- at goal. Every other time in my life I've hit my weight goal (I'm a brilliant dieter :)) I've sort of bounced on "bottom" and then floated upward pretty fast.

I don't really think I'm going to do that now. This is a real different feeling place -- no urges yet to eat "bad" things, etc. But it still really does feel ... awkward.

      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!!
