You guys we can do this!! We put ourselves through a lot to be able to lose weight. I have faith in you all....I have found faith in myself as well. I have a long journey in front of me as I am only 11 days post-op. I will have set backs and I am sure I will have moments of WTF was I thinking. Then I stop and think....my blood sugar has been normal since the surgery. I am only on 1 medication for it. Pretty soon I may be able to get off my blood pressure medicine and the more I lose the better my body is going to feel. #yougotthis. ;)

@Torriluv87 You are still going down though! I KNOW how hard it is. I fell off of tracking for a few months and thankfully I didn't gain. I decided I have this tool and I am silly not to utilize it to the fullest and went back to tracking everything last week. I also upped my exercise and am now walking 4-5 miles 4-6 times a week. It paid off as I lost 9 pounds this week! I am not going to lie to you and tell you I only eat what is on plan. I had tasticakes, I had chocolate, but I tracked it and kept my calories to around 1200. Everyone is human and we make mistakes. If you schedule in your mistakes though it won't affect you as much as if you just go haywire. Make sure you are tracking EVERYTHING even if it's not on plan. You have to make the commitment again like I did. Maybe commit to treating yourself once a week instead of everyday. I have had many opportunities to eat off plan as I babysit and we get ice cream, donuts, fast food, cupcakes...I let them get something but even though I might want to I do not get something myself. We are here for you as support but in the end we can not control what you do. The control comes from in you. I believe you can do it though. This goes for you too @chuswysly It's so hard when you get off plan but it IS possible to turn it around.

@AngieK72 I don't have you on my spreadsheet so I don't know if I missed your original post. What was your starting weight (around the 7th of April) and what is your goal weight for June 2nd?

@jla031210 Hey, we are coming to the end of the challenge but I can add you. What is your goal weight to be at by June 2nd?

@sjfink How are you doing after surgery? I'm still so nervous for my surgery June 5th!

@Newbeva How have you been doing after surgery? Also..congrats! You have beaten your goal! Did you want to adjust it for the last 2 weeks of the challenge??

@klette0147 I totally understand. It's hard not to gain weight when traveling. Most of it is Water weight usually though!

@Deactivatedfatgal and @rnymorales You are very close to reaching your challenge goal!!

      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!!
