WOW!! Congratulations, you are doing fantastic and you look so good...you started at a low weight and lost a lot of weight quickly, do you mind sharing what your personal plan looks like, food intake,exercise etc.

I was wanting to know the same as wanda247. I had mine on 4-3-18 and I've lost 45 pounds. I know I have not done what I'm supposed to and should have lost more than what I have.. So hearing what you have done would really help

Thank you! I really stuck to the diet and 500 calorie limit. After two months I added a few things but still no carbs or sugar even now I try not to go over 1000 a day. I don’t eat beef or pork and haven’t in 20 years or so. I have a treadmill and some hand weights that I use but honestly I’m not good at sticking to it. I just wanted to make this work for me.

You look absolutely amazing!! Do you mind sharing was size of clothes you started out at and where you are now?

Thank you! I was wearing a size 18-20 jeans and XXL tops. I am now wearing a size 8-10 jeans and a Med-Large top. It is so weird looking at myself now and before.

I was told to try and loose as much as I could during the first six months because it would slowdown after that. So far it has proved to be true. I am loosing a pound or two a week now, but some weeks none.

I had never heard that, but I know that my lack of not losing is totally my fault. I went to the store today and bought me so many good and healthy foods to have and plenty where I won't get tired of the same things.

That is so great. I agree must be nuts looking in the mirror and wondering who the heck is looking back at you 😁😁😁

      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!!
