Wow your weight loss is very visable, congratulations on what you have achieved so far, and I love the new hair cut. Is your surgeon/medical team satisfied with your progress? If they aren't did they have any suggestions for you?

How many calories are you eating in a day? How much Protein? Are you still following your post-op food guidelines?

your loss is about the same as I was at that point.

Rate of weight loss has to do with a whole host of factors, most of which are out of your control - age, gender, starting BMI, metabolic rate, how active you are, whether or not you lost a lot of weight prior to surgery, etc. The only thing you have complete control over is commitment to your program. If you follow the program, the weight WILL come off, whether fast or slow. I was a slow loser from the get-go, but I almost never went off my plan during the losing phase, and I ended up losing all of my excess weight.

Slow and steady is great! That's how I was with my Lapband. I lost 99 pounds in two and a half years, and kept it off the following 7 years until the band decided it didn't like my body anymore. smh lol You look great! Impressive work so far and continued success.

      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!!
