Here to brag a bit and update on progress:
Down 50 pounds!
VSG 6/1
Pre-op 286
Current 236
Amazing to see the ongoing transformation!...

May need to reassess my "target" weight. I picked 210 because that would put me below BMI of 30 (arbitrary, I know!) ans because, well, I couldn't imagine weighing that little, let alone even less!

Congrats! Did you lose 50 since the surgery or is some pre surgery loss?

That was my weight at the start of my 2w pre-op diet. I lost 12 during those 2 weeks, and now 38 more in my two months post!

Thanks all! I’m 5’10. Exercise - I’ve not been as consistent as I’d like, but I’m in my gym at least once a week to jog and lift some weights. I walk a lot, though, often 8-10k steps a day even if not hitting the gym!

I think your doing GREAT! and you know 10k steps is almost equivalent to 5 miles. Keep it up since June you go!

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
