Big scale Victory.

I'm not one to weigh very often.

Normally only when i go in for a fill.

My last fill was mid July.

Well, I've been visiting my daughter and her family and decided to try her scales this morning.

I was afraid I had gained a couple pounds.......but........to my surprise i was down 12.5 lbs from my last fill.

needless to say i was so pleasantly surprised.

that makes me down 71 lbs since jan/10 and only 20-25 lbs to go. I know they will come off slowly but they will come off.

For those of you just starting this journey, keep your chin up and the little we do every day will make a big big difference in the months to come.

Congrats! Amazing that you've been able to stay off the scale; I've gotta be on it once a week.

Don't want to bust your bubble, but different scales will weigh you differently. I can weigh at home.. then go directly to the gym, no eating or drinking and weigh again, wearing the same clothes and be 3 lbs different.

You are doing great! If your not excersising already, it will help those last 20 pounds fade away. If you are, you may want to up the intensity. It has worked for me in getting those last 10 pounds off.

That was my point.. albeit I expressed myself badly... that the loss might not be 12.5 lbs. It might be 20lbs. It might be 8.

I just didn't want the OP to get home and get all depressed if the numbers weren't as good on the home scale.

Congrats on the loss.. whatever the number is. :(

      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!
