I had bypass on 4/23/18. My starting weight was 340lbs. I'm currently 221lbs. That's a total weight loss of 119lbs! I honestly can't tell you a time I remember being this small my entire life. I'm so happy!

First goal: 250lbs [emoji818]

Second goal: 225lbs [emoji818]

Third goal: 199lbs ...*pending*

Final goal: 160-170lbs

I never worked out until this month. These last 22lbs until onederland are stubborn. I'm also doing Keto and intermittent fasting.

This surgery changed my life. I'm almost positive I would be closer to 400lbs by now if I didn't have this surgery. CollageMaker_20190124_070613949.jpeg

That's wonderful! Congrats! You've given me hope as a relative newbie (6 weeks post-op) that it really can happen.

      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!!
