Well a little update, I just got back from the Dr. I lost 10 lbs this month. Whoohoo for me! He asked if I felt ok. I said I feel great, but it took 2 weeks after the fill for me to realize what I can/cannot eat. So, he said I am at 32 bmi and he would talk to me about where we go from here when I get to 28 bmi. I said I will see him in April, but will be on vacation in May. So I will talk to him in June about where we go from here. :cursing:

OK - so I have not been loosing very fast lately. I know it is mostly Water related. I have just not been drinking my water. I will think, oh, just too busy. But it makes such a difference I just have to do it.

The good news is that we went on Spring break vacation and I did NOT gain any weight. That is the first time in my life I have gone on vacation (eating out all the time, etc) and not gained weight. One time I gained almost 20 lbs on vacation....yckky gross! I may not make my goal...but I am troop on to get as close as I can!

Well, I am adjusting my goal for this challenge. I hope no one minds. I think I can loose 10 lbs this month with the incorporation of exercise and if I hide all the kids Easter candy. I think I was a little too ambitious this time. But I feel good about the new goal!

Hi Folks, well I am down 13.6 lbs, but need to loose another 10.4 to make my goal. I don't think it is likely because I only have 7 more days, but this challenge has been good for all of us!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
