I had bypass on 8/11. Stayed one night in hospital. Feeling ok today. Was able to do a ten minute walk this morning. Not too much pain.

My surgery is this Friday! I’m so excited!

I have not done well on the preop diet while traveling to move my daughter to college this week. I will let my surgeon know and see if she still wants to keep my surgery date. I’m a revision and she almost didn’t put me in the preop diet. I am back home on Subday and will have 5 full days to follow it without any hiccups. I am worried.

I just requested to Join!

I should have mentioned in my initial post that I had a sleeve in 2018. Had horrible GERD since and also never lost the most weight that my surgeon said I could possibly lose. Fast forward through COVID, loss of a family member, major job change l, etc etc - I actually gained almost ALL of the weight back. It very embarrassing. I would have never thought that I would gain it all back - ever. As the day goes, never say never. I have a new surgeon now and she is amazing and did not make me feel like a loser. Since I have GERD and never lost to my potential, and have the hiatal hernia, I am having a revision to gastric bypass on 8/11. My highest weight was 250 and my lowest weight after sleeve was 169. I’m 5’4”. To say that this second chance means everything to me is an understatement. I haven’t even told anyone (besides my husband) that I’m doing the revision because I’m so embarrassed.

I’m interested if it is a private Facebook group 😊

I have my sleeve revision to bypass on 8/11!

I had the sleeve in June 2018. My weight on surgery day was 242. I got down to 169 and not a pound less. I’m 5’4”. I never got rid of the GERD, which I had before the sleeve. In hind sight, I wish I had the bypass and not the sleeve initially. I a, scheduled to have a revision to bypass on 8/11. I am also scared …. But I am so tired of the extreme GERD and the damage that it’s doing. I have had significant weight regain from my sleeve - gained ALL back. The regain is very depressing. It’s to the point that I avoid social situations and am just down on myself for the regain 24/7. Hindsight is a b!tch. I’m ready for the revision and know that I will feel better without the GERD. Second chances aren’t to be taken lightly and this is mine.

Squats done.Yoga ... I get super nauseated and feel horrible when I do yoga or Pilates. I have tried both more than once and I get all clammy, nauseated and feel so horrible after. Does this happen to anyone else?

Rest day for squats today, but I still had my work out at Orange Theory. I love that place! I have a nice pile of clothes in my closet that is ready to donate. I have donated so many clothes since this journey began. It feels amazing!! With fall coming, I’ll need to get some clothes that fit for the weather. I got a lot of cute dresses for summer this year and I where heels everyday .... neither of which I used to even think about wearing “before.” Heels used to kill my feet, knees and back. I’m short and short waisted, so had a lot of trouble finding dresses that would work. Now, I love to wear them. I try buy all of my clothes on clearance or thrift store. I need some motivation to get 20 more pounds off ladies! My trouble time of day is evening when I get home from the gym. Have a good night!

Congratulations!!!!

Day 2: catching up with a friend... does my hubby count, lol? We are busy with 2 teen girls that both have sports, music, etc. I plan to spend the day catching up with him, lol. We sit often have days that we can just hang and chat. Squat challenge: I have been going to Orange Theory Fitness and LOVE it! If we don’t get the squats for today in my class, I will do them right after. I ate pretty bad this weekend and feel so tired of bad food today! I plan to track all of my food and get my water in today and I am just about to do my OTF class in 10mins. I’m at a point in my weight loss journey that I feel really good and people tell me how great I’m looking ... this makes me sometimes not be as on point with food as I need to be. I still want to lose about 20-25 pounds and need to track food everyday to do that. So thankful that this group was created! Have a great day everyone!

1. Posting your personal goal: 149lbs 2. Add your surgery type, status (pre/post op, losing/maintenance): vsg on 6/6/2018 3. Weight and BMI (not necessary but encouraged): 169, 29 4. Choose between the easy or advance squat routine: advanced routine 5. Tell us your favorite flaw: I leave my shoes all over the house. Right now, I have 7 pair of shoes downstairs just wherever I happened to feel like taking them off. I like it because I always have a pair close tp throw on 😂

I need this 😀 I’m just over a year post op and still need to lose about 20 pounds!

My surgiversary was 6/6. I’m down 85 pounds from my highest weight. I had A LOT of hair loss in the first 6 months , but I now have a lot of growth! I weigh 169 now and want to get to 150 ... but I’m losing very slowly. I have been working out at Orange Theory Fitness 2-3 times per week and recently started running. I surprised myself and ran 3 miles without stopping yesterday! My pace was 10:30/mile .... back when I weighed at least 50 pounds more a few years ago, my pace was 13:57/mile. I could definitely feel the huge difference in how I felt running after losing all this weight so far. It felt AMZING!!! I hope that everyone is doing well!
