Highest weight



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 3 post o.p. and doing well.

I stepped on the scale, just like my doctor said NOT to do. Totally reminded me of being at my heaviest (at least heaviest recorded weight). it we at Weight Watchers, 365. I had to be taken from the "regular" scales to the industrial supper-fat scale in a stinky back room. I felt so bad, too fat for weight watchers. Never again, my friends, never again. I plan to live a healthy lifestyle. I hope not to get preachy or like a "dry drunk". I'll be working toward erasing (aka coming to terms with) bad-fat experiences. Anyone else??

Congrats on having surgery, and I'm so happy to hear you're doing well! I did the same thing, actually, and weighed myself right when I came home from surgery. Bad idea, I'd gained like 15 lbs and my family was like terrified I'd be upset. I just took more pain pills and took a nap. lol.

My highest weight was close to yours, 360! I feel like admitting it is so powerful, like there's no reason to be ashamed. I'm not less of a person because I weighed 360 lbs, and neither are you. You're about to go through so many changes, and I hope you know that you deserve all of the good that comes with this. You're amazing, wonderful and so strong. You're just getting started on his journey, and that's amazing! I wish you luck, happiness and so, so much positivity.

I feel ya, friend. My highest weight was 463. I have to get a physical once a year for my insurance at work, and when I went in to get weighed, they had to try 3 different scales before they found one that would weigh me. It ended up being a blessing, really, as I made up my mind right then that I had to do something. There was a Bariatric info session the next day, and I signed up and went to it. I haven't looked back since, and I'm 178 pounds lighter now.

Congrats! You got this! When I did this for the first time, I was thinking the same thing. The very first weigh in back in 2005 was at weight watchers and my weight at that time was only 3 pounds less than when I started my pre op diet this year. I am super glad to have come as far as I have in this short time. Right now I am nervous about being at 265.. that was the weight I could never get below ( although I did once when I was doing Atkins, I got down to 225).. so I have two more numbers to beat on the scale. The 265 ( am 3 pounds away from this) and the 225 my lowest ever to date!

      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!!
