Hey Mike,

I'm new too welcome! Do you have a surgery date yet? What part of the process are you at? I'm on month 2 of a 7 month insurance required diet.

G'day @@Mike Dumas

Welcome and all the best to you...

I was another 500+lb starter (565 actually) about 14 months ago...

I've lost around 240 of those pounds so far and am well on the way...

Mate, if you EVER have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask them, either here or in Private Message...

As I'm sure you've noticed when you looked around, there's very little that's off limits and there's a whole lotta love and support in the place...

Good luck to you mate...

Keep us all updated!!

Kinda

@@Mike Dumas WELCOME!!!!

Oh wait ... I think someone else already said that ;)

I'm in GA too ... Just outside of Atlanta ... had the sleeve last July ... been on the boards ever since ...

These people are my adopted family ... they are ALWAYS here when I need them ... To give me a hug or give me strength or a kick in the pants ...

You too will find them inspirational and motivational and probably the only ones in your life that actually "get it" ....

I wish you THE BEST and stick around ... You'll enjoy it !!!

You got this!

Be Blessed!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
