The white shirt is from last November the grey shirt is from last night. I am half way to my goal. It is pretty amazing to me to see how well this is actually working. Take care.

Just got back from a cruise. Instead of avoiding all pictures, we were thrilled to have ours taken. I was banded 4/10/07 and DH was banded 5/22/07. Between the two of us we've lost over 100#. Life with the band is GOOD!!

The Disney pic was taken summer of 2006. The formal one was on the ship last week.

Ok... Here I am just about 3 1/2 months post op. In the picture of me sitting down on the coffee table, I was just at 400 pounds and that was of course, Halloween '07. In the standing picture (can anybody guess what I am carrying? You get 100 bonus points if you know!!!) That would have been about this time last year '07. I would have been about 385 or so... Then there is the black shirt picture. We had some family photos taken yesterday afternoon and we all got "dolled up" to take the portraits. I felt very... ehem... GQ!!! It was a good day! Yesterday evening while DW was putting the children down to sleep, I went to the store and got some snacky foods. Vegetable crackers, summer sausage, Fancy Shmancy cheese, grapes, and a bottle of Chardonnay... When I was there, I felt like some kind of preppy guy all fancied up and buying cheese, grapes and wine! LOL

Enough rambling! Here are some photos.

      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!!
