Thank you, Tingting.

My Bariatric surgeon said in his 14-year practice, he's only had a few patients lose the same weight, but no one in the time frame. So that felt nice to hear.

I gradually introduced swimming and walking. At my 6 months checkup I had lost about 180 lbs. he thought I might only lose another 30-40 lbs (by my one year checkup). I wasn't great with that so yes, I did switch my exercise routine to daily. I got up to 4.66 miles a day. It took me an hour to complete the 4.66 miles.

I had a body lift Wednesday and weighed in at 225 so 279 lbs. in 12.5 months.

On aside note I had a flebectomy performed on each leg back in July, so I haven't exercised the way I used to-but once I'm able to, I want to get back to something like what I did before.

That's, my story, lol.

My best to you,

Daniel

Hey friends!

One year ago I started my journey to health & fitness. I began at 504 lbs., and currently weigh 232 lbs. I've lost 272 lbs this year. I'm going to Celebrate with some plastic surgery in the coming months.

I live outside of KC, MO. My surgeon was/is tremendous, and this forum has been also been so inspiring.

I've gained insight and perspective as you've shared your journeys with me...so, I thought I'd share back! :-)

All the best to each of you!

Daniel

      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!!
