Hi there,

just updated my weight in my profile but there is something off. It now looks like there is a weight loss of 31 kg since May which is of course not correct.

I provided a different starting date (when I had my first surgery in 2001) but this doesn't seem to show?

I know what you mean as my weight loss goes back to when I started to diet without surgery back in 2006. To avoid confusion with how much I have lost since my first consultation I simply added to my signature line that I had lost a certain amount of weight before that first visit with the surgeon. If you felt it necessary you could add a signature line with your starting weight when you had your first surgery in 2001 and how much you lost then.

@@summerset Your starting weight, current weight, etc. are not showing because you've chosen to "Keep my weight private". If you would like those weights to show (including Starting Weight), you'll need to uncheck that setting.

Thanks for your answer but I chose the private mode on purpose. I was just wondering why the profile shows e. g. my starting weight as 130 lbs and not as 130 kg.

@@summerset was that prior to changing your settings to Private? The only weight shown on your profile at the moment is the Weight Lost (which is normal for when your settings are Private) - though that does indeed show as lbs, which is indeed an error and we'll look into it. I just want to make sure we're on the same page so that we can get all of it resolved :-)

The private setting was on purpose. :)

IIRC changing the setting to private didn't change anything at all regarding that lbs/kg error on the profile.

@@summerset Okay, so you're referring to the Weight Lost? Or can you screen shot where you're currently seeing "lbs" instead of "kgs"?

Hey,

Thanks! My weight/goal weight is now correct too!

No more goal of 65Ibs, but the 65 kg !

      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!!
