The chart shows my weight as recorded by my Fitbit Aria scale over the past six months. It connects to my WiFi and sends the weight readings to an account on the Internet. I weighed myself each night prior to the heart bypass surgery since I was on peritoneal dialysis and part of the nightly procedure was to take a weight measurement. The straight line in November is the bypass surgery and hospital stay. Post-surgery, I came home at 235 lbs. Today, the number is ~205 lbs so I lost ~30 lbs in a bit over a month. Initially I had a lot of retained fluids from the surgery but that got removed by dialysis. That’s probably the large decrease since the end of November.
With eating healthy and exercise, I think I can drop my weight further. My current goal is 80.0 kg or about 176 lbs. That means I have to lose another ~30 lbs and it will need to be real weight instead of just fluids.
