Hi all. Oct. 5th is going to be my 6 months post op. Right now I'm down 86lbs 270->184. Still having trouble with Water and Vitamins but I'm very happy with my progress. This is with no gym. Now that I'm closer to my goal weight I'm going to start working out.

Any other 6 monthers?

Sorry for the underwear pics. The ones on the left I took the morning if surgery, on the right was this am.

Wow... you're doing great. :) I remember how great it felt to get that weight off after my band. Cannot wait to get there again after they remove my band and do the bypass surgery next month!

Can I ask, when you say still having trouble with Water and Vitamins, do you mean changing your routine to accommodate them or do you mean, literally your stomach is having a hard time keeping them down?

      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!!
