Hello everyone just wanted to share my weight loss story with everyone. I was 345 pounds and my liver was not in good shape. I was so sick of being over weight my body was producing a large amount of insulin and the drs. Couldn't get it under control so it's caused me to gain 100 pounds in 1 year. I started checking into weight loss surgery but never thought I'd have the chance to have it done. I was thankful for my insurance approving my weight loss surgery. I have a 6 month process I had to do before I could have my surgery. I went from 345 to 236 in those 6 months. After surgery was not as bad as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong those first 3 weeks I thought to myself many times "what the heck did I do to myself" but so thankful for the surgery. I am now 9 months out from being sleeved and I am down to 221 pounds in those 9 months. I have lost 124 pounds since I started all this.it was work every pound. I would have surgery again in a heart beat. It saved myself. It made me feel my own age again ( 24 years old). The weight loss surgery saved me in many ways. My weight loss has slowed down some. Yes I had time where I got off track and ate bad and didn't work out. But I pushed myself to get back on track. My goal weight is 180 and I'm determined to meet that goal. Hope my story helps anyone who don't think the surgery it worth it..because it is!!!

      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!!
