I hit 169.4 today!! I’ve not been under 170 lbs since the early nineties. That was using Phen-Fen, which was banned. Since then no matter what diet I’ve done, I get to 172 and no further. I would then get discouraged and gain it all back, plus some. I’ve been bouncing around 171/172 for weeks now. Totally skipped 170 and weighed in at 169.4.!!!

This makes my goal feel so much more attainable 😁

Woohoo

How many lbs have you lost to get there?

When and what surgery did you have?

My starting weight was 241. Then 224 at gastric bypass surgery in August. That nbr of 170 has been like a springboard every time I lose weight. I get that far and then right back up I go so this was so encouraging. I’ve heard that alot of yoyo dieters have a certain setpoint that they just can’t seem to get past. This was mine.

        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!!
