Am I Suppose To Be Here



Recommended Posts

I asked am I'm I suppose to be here is because I haven't had any surgery. My starting weight was 376 last year. Enough was enough for me. I made up my mind and did it. I now weigh 282 pounds! I'm losing more. My skin in certain areas is now drooping. I'm kinda now lost. I feel alone. If I'm doing anything wrong, let me know. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums.

Congratulations on your success.

While you have different challenges than us post-ops it all comes down to changing habits and staying on plan.

It would be interesting to hear what you are doing. Almost all of us have done successful diets in the past and often the downfall is AFTER the diet when we gained the weight back. So, stay focused on your plan even after you've lost your weight. I hope you're in the 3% of successful diets for MO folks.

My opinion is your surgical status doesn't matter. We are in this together.

Good luck,

Tek

There’s a wealth of support & experience on this site & people are happy to help, answer your questions & share. You’re not alone.

      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!!
