Its been a while since I last checked in so figured I would give a quick update. Still hovering just a couple of pounds above goal. Stepped on the scale this morning, which I have not done in about a month. I think I was a little surprised at that. Reason is that I am finding that I fit into less and less of my clothing (even my "skinny" clothes that have been hanging around for years unused in my closet). Definitely shaping up and right now, could care less if I lost another pound. BP is good, off the rack clothing is nice and the compliments don't suck for the ego !! Still love the band - I have not been adjusted for 9 months now (I think I have around 6cc's in a 10cc band). I really don't think about eating, with the exception of generally focusing on Protein. Last night my girls wanted pizza. We went to the local pizza place, I ordered a slice with pepperoni and mushroom and proceeded to eat about 3/4 of it and I was done. That's what I really love about the band.

Anyway, hope all are doing well!

Hi guys this was a really big week for me Sunday I got on the scales dropped another 3 pound. That put me at GOAL, I am now just OVERWEIGHT. After going 5 or 6 weeks with little or no weight loss in these past two weeks I dropped 6 pounds, during this period I stopped keeping a food log and the band does work it makes you stop eating but then I started the log again this week and found their are days I only would get 50 grams of Protein and other days 100 grams so for me think I will continue the logs. Not sure what I will do from here except to just keep eating the same for awhile.:wink:

      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!!
