Good evening everyone.

This is my weekly check in.

I've been on this weight loss journey now 16 weeks today and down 107lbs.

HW 322

CW 215

GW 185-195

Feeling good still mostly on shakes everyday but starting to try little solid things here and there to work out what I can tolerate.

I'm 7 weeks post op today but 16 weeks since starting my diet.

Feeling positive about the future just got some loose skin mostly under my arms & armpits..

Will need to get into some kind of resistance or weights soon but here in Australia Its summer and heatwave of 100 all week 😭 so not in any mood to workout right now :P

Thanks everyone again for your support

MIKE.

Looking good! I see that you are mostly on shakes still, does that mean you are not eating food yet?

Yoghurt and hummus mostly.

Tried a few solid type things but hard to adjust.. if I eat a little too much or too fast it will come back up so I'll have to figure out what I can or can't tolerate...

But I'm usually pretty satisfied with my shakes anyways :)

WOWEE! You really ARE Superman! More like SuperDuperman! My Hero!

Seems like you Aussies always do better with your Journeys than us Northern Hemisphere types...Maybe the gravity is less down there??😉

      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!

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
