That was my weight this am! I am finally below 200!!!!! Barely but I am there! If only I could keep from freaking myself out. This is the weight range I was able to get to when I would try to lose weight prior to surgery. Then I would never make it any further. I am questioning if I will make it any further or if this is it and the surgery was for nothing. I know I know STOP IT!!! But for today I am celebrating my loss AND the fact I am finally beginning to have clothes be too big. I had only 3 pair of jeans and 5 t shirts that fit when I was a t my biggest so now my Pre Biggest clothes are getting too big ! Woot woot!

Thank you everyone! I am super proud of myself! Next mini goal is to be below the "obese" range. I need to lose 14 more pounds to simply be "overweight." I haven't seen THAT in well over 10 years!

2bullymom, you talk about different stages of obesity. It's funny because on my phone notes I have calculated and already know exactly where I need to be weight-wise to be at each level. I am 5'1" so my weight numbers seem like they will be impossible to reach.

Ideal weight

117-121

Not overweight

122-132

Overweight

133-157

Obese

158-184

Morbidly obese

185-211

Super obese

264 >

My highest weight 266.2

      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!!
