Wow! Your doing fantastic!
I can't believe how time has flown this year!
My 2 week pre surgical diet weight was 242 December 6, 2016
Surgery was December 20, 2016...
my current weight is 152. Which makes me 90 pounds down, with a BMI OF 27.
My goal is currently 135, which allows me to reach a healthy BMI of 24.
When I get there, I will reevaluate.
Doing well weight loss is slow going now, but I feel good, I look good, so I don't obsess. I'm enjoying my new weight and enjoy shopping. I still weigh myself daily, and keep an eye on everything I eat, but I have been known to taste test a thing here or there, but do not consume the foods that are not allowed.
I'm look forward to loosing the last 17 pounds before my 1 year anniversary.

All in all, regardless of all the hiccups, such as the hematoma that I developed in the recovery room, the reflux, that requires that I take daily medicine to control and now the gallbladder removal that I will undergo in 2 days.... the sleeve is still the best thing I ever have done for myself. It has allowed me the opportunity to gain control over my food, and has allowed me to be a healthier person.

December 14th was my date and I am really pleased and happy.... I feel so good! I wish all of you success.... remember not to judge you by comparing yourself to someone else's achievements. Our journeys are different in so many ways.

What’s everyone’s height?

I was sleeved dec 9 and my SW was 255 and I am now fluctuating between 163 and 166. I am 5’9 so my BMI is 24 which is normal now but I’d like to get down to 155 lbs so it gives me room to gain weight without being overweight.

I lost all my weight without doing any exercise but paying attention to what I ate. But I really now need to tone up my body because it’s very loose.

I don’t really know what I’ll do to celebrate.. I would normally eat something terrible but since that’s not a good idea, maybe my wife and I will go on a date or something..

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
