Woo-Hoo!!! Hit the 50lb loss mark this morning!!!!

I am so pumped about hitting that milestone.

To top that off - the shorts I just got back into after about 5 years of not being able to squeeze into - are too BIG!

I can wear shorts to work and about a month ago I went through my clothes and donated to local women's shelter anything size 20 or larger (depending on how they fit). I have been wearing 18s and some 16s. This morning I tried on a pair of shorts that a month ago seemed too snug and now they seem really loose! I am going home today and trying on the 16s!!!!

These are the best NSVs ever!

I am almost at the 50 pound mark. Can't weight, I mean wait- LOL. I was trying to figure out how to get clothing without spending much money. It won't be long before my clothing will be way too big as well. A friend gave me 6 bags of clothing. She is a bit smaller and a shopaholic. I feel like a kid in a candy store with a golden ticket! I am so happy for you Thanks for sharing your joy!

@@Debbie623 - golden ticket, yes!

I have clothes that I bought that were marked down to wear to work (industrial environment). I always hoped I would be able to wear and now I have my "golden ticket" and I am shopping!

thanks!

@@proudgrammy - Again thanks.

Womens shelters have a special place in my heart as I have been a resident once with my two kids during Christmas 1993.

      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!!
