Oh my maybe Ancestry. Com isn't the zHoly Trail everbody thought they once were. Although many yearn to know if their ethnicity was, if they have my DNA forever could it be used to exclude me from employment at a future date? Sounds pretty Brave New World to me, and I find that scary.

Grail. not Trail, they may rhyme but they are vastly different things.

SO MANY posts on this forum begin with, "Am I the only one who....?"

No matter how that question ends, it starts with the fallacy that we are alone in this world. You are NOT alone.

Did I have doubt about whether this surgery would work for me? Hell yes! I've never met a WLS patient who didn't have doubts at some point or another.

You're at the toughest, most fearful part of your journey. But here's the good news: Just ahead there's a fork in the road. You're going to have WLS & things are going to change for you. That's super exciting! And we'll be with you every step!

Good luck with your surgery. Stick around in the POST surgery forum & help others along their journey too!

You are not alone.

I am just the opposite, I weigh myself daily to keep on track. 1 year out, down 85.5 lbs. Goal was 120, I am down to 115lbs at 5'2". Couldn't be any happier [emoji4]

That’s awesome. You must’ve started at a lower weight? I’m 5’2 140.. goal is 120.. started at 250 / ten months ago. But I’m now on plateau .. needing to push harder to get down.

They also become the sole proprietor and possessor of the genetic material once transferred to them, no thanks...

      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!

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
