I actually was fat at 17...

But smaller than your highest???

Banded 10/12/16

Yes. It is safe to say that I probably weight less now than I did then.

Not at 17, but when I was 25 and about 135 pounds (my lowest ever) I remember talking with a friend of mine, saying, "you know, if this is the best I can be, I'll be happy with it." Little did I know that it was my best, and that will be the number I'm aiming for once again, even though I know my body will look a lot different than it did then!

I was heavy but certainly not obese at 17.... probably about 10# less than my current goal weight. Yeah, I'd take it. :D

It is amazing, I look back on pictures of myself at 17 and wonder how, why, what and who in the world ever made me think I was fat! Maybe I will figure that one out one of these days. Too bad I didn't know then that I was okay and to enjoy every minute of it instead of constantly trying to fit in and worry about how I looked!

      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!!
