Nice job. I am 5’2” started out at 260lbs down 100lbs 6 months for surgery. Doc says I can get down to 130-135lbs that seems really skinny to me.

That’s great!

I’m 5’0, was 223 originally and I’m down to 179 (today!).

My weight-loss has gone really well... but I am a stickler for following the rules. I have had some minor bumps so far, but altogether - very happy. :D

Yes I did Dec.26, 2017 yet my doctor is saying I should have lost more than that so I don’t know if I should just rest my pouch by just doing all liquids for the next couple of days

I’m not sure I haven’t had surgery yet. But I have heard of people doing a reset by following their prep diet for a week.

Surgery: 8/18/18 revision from band to sleeve. I started at 182.7 and am now at 166.5. It seems to be slower than most but better than I could do on my own so I am happy with my results. I will begin to exercise next week. I have been at a stall for a couple of weeks. Good luck!

      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!!
