i really pondered whether to post this or not

(i do not want to come across as bragging or boasting)

however i wanted to share as its pretty darn kewl.

this week alone, 5 people have said something to me about my weight loss (from out of the blue)...3 did not know i have had the surgery.

1. Jennifer who is our companys CFO, came up to me and said you are looking so good.

2. Darielle came up to me and said whatever you are doing, keep it going as you are looking (skinny)

3. Pat who is one of our accountants said you are looking amazing

4. Tiffany said i can really tell you are losing weight.

5. Dunkin Doughnut drive thru lady said wow, you have lost some weight

so i said the thank you and how sweet (and the southern thing well bless your heart)...i am excited that people notice or are noticing....still difficult to say (thank you) but i am getting use to it :)

The Dunkin Donut drive thru lady?!

a) what the heck were you doing at Dunkin Junkin Donuts?

B) I thought southerners all swore to be faithful to Krispy Kreme?

But seriously, I'm proud of you for being able to share those comments. Nothing wrong with bragging on something you worked so hard for!

I always find it easier to accept compliments from strangers. I usually dismiss comments from coworkers and friends as being intentional encouragement. A peril of working in the behavioral health field is becoming jaded to praise as reinforcement.

I still (4 1/2 years out) will get a compliment from someone that hasn't seen me in awhile. While it still feels great, I also wonder-will they always remember the heavy me? I've been this size for 3 1/2 years now.

      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!
