Hit A Goal Today!



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share this. My surgery was 6/26/12. My progress has been slow but steady.

I have set small goals for myself and I hit one today. I have lost 40 pounds exactly!!!! My preop weight was 362, and I'm 322 today! It's moments like this that push me to conquer my next set of goals.

My next goal weight is 312 for 50 pounds lost, then 299 to put me under 300. I can't remember the last time I was under 300 pounds and now that is within my reach! I'm so happy I could cry!

I know first hand how excited you are! I started my journey @ 377 lbs! The amount of weight we have to lose is hard to wrap your head around. Like you I made myself a set of mini goals and fast forward 23 months later I am almost there.... the time has just flown!

You are doing a great job! DO something nice for yourself today!!!

I LOVE the mini goals! I can relate to you I was super super thrilled when I hit under 300 lbs. My next mini goal is 250. I think I will cry when I hit this weight, no really I mean it....

Congratulations and keep up the great work!!!

      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!
