Sometimes we stay at a point and don't lose when we feel like we have. I had to stay focused and just keep consistent.

I drank the shakes more to get in the 60 grams of Protein and still am not drinking enough Water. Water will flush it out and exercise. I'm not exercising either as I've been stressed and the more stressed I get: I don't do what I should.

So pray and see yourself feel that wonderful feeling of removing the weight and know if you've gotten to the point you are muscle: it will take a bit longer but my doc suggested 120 would be my wt. for my height. Logically for me: 160 even that for me feels a bit high. 150 is best but I have not exercised.

I have decided to continue to read again on this site and look forward to hearing stories and keep it in my mind I need to stick with the program no matter what and if I have a set back: work on overcoming it.

I've eaten bread. I know better...no bread, Pasta, rice, potatoes, noting out of a box, bag or a can. Eat three times a day.

I've eaten out of a box, can, bread, so I am the cause and have to get it back together slowly. Adding something I enjoy to take up the slack of what I'd eaten that I know better.

Good luck to you and Imagine what you want to become. I have to do that. And we need to keep moving. I have been lax in moving going through a time with loss's... and now after three months. I am looking at my needs and getting back to taking care of myself.

ps: Boy that picture of the 20lbs of fat was good for me to view! Looked like french bread at first OMG

      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!!
