I also failed my challenge but I did lose 6 lbs total. I think it has to do with not having a enough restriction and this constant shoulder pain I get. Hopefully on the 19th I'll find out what's going on. Congrats to everyone who made their goals and to the ones who did lose something. A loss is a loss and that's something to stay positive about!

Hey Pretty Lady!!

You DID NOT FAIL your challenge at ALL!! You lost 6lbs which is FANTASTIC!!

The ONLY people who failed this challenge are those who did not try and or care to push themselves to lose, that is NOT you!

Even though you didn't reach the heights you set for yourself, you reached for them and that is SUCCESS!!

We set goals for a reason, but the climb to get to them is what measures our success, not the goal itself. Please always remember YOU lost 6lbs! Pick up 6lbs of ground beef at the store to REALLY remind you of how much that is and how good you feel without it on your body. You ROCK!:thumbdown:

I didn't meet goal but I lost 11.2 lbs. This past week I just didn't really have the will power. I actually went up 2 lbs, but I did get them back off. I'm not really sure how, because for the last 2 days all I have wanted to do is eat. CONGRADULATIONS EVERYONE!!!

congratulations to EVERYONE who lost weight, wether it be 1 lb or more, & it does NOT matter how long or quick the weight comes off, the important thing is its coming off? & i believe it stays off if your a fast loser too

      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!!
