Do you Notice



Recommended Posts

I lost a little over 20lbs so far :) ! I cannot tell at all because i see myself everyday my family says they can notice but i think they are just saying so lol! But I think im starting to believe them! Why? Because a lady who works in another department next to mine came up to me and was like " Wow! You look like you lost a lot of weight!" Woohoo feels good to hear someone you dont talk with normally notice! I still have a ways to go but if 20lbs+ makes a difference already I cannot wait to lose another 20lbs+!!!!

You look amazing

Yeah I agree pictures dont lie. Also make sure you keep up with your measurements. There maybe be times you cant tell and those measurements will be golden.

Taking measurements is an awesome way to track. I am waiting on insurance approval but started back at the gym 2 months ago.. had someone take my measurements Jan 23... had them taken again March 24 I had lost 2.5 in in my chest 1.5 in my waist and 2.25 in my hips which i was thrilled about bc the scale had only gone down about 8 lbs... So definatly track in more than one way... pics, measurements, etc... You are doing wonderful 20 Lbs is a big deal! :) keep it up

Good Job. I can never tell either, but then I look back at pictures and I can really tell! So maybe you should look st some old pictures and take some new ones!

Isn't that the best feeling??? I love hearing from people, especially people I don't see too often, that I look like I lost weight, etc. It almost reinforces it for me. I'm down 34lbs and I can somewhat see I lost weight, but I have people telling me a lot that they can tell.

Congratulations to you!! I hope you're on cloud 9 between your awesome weight loss and the compliments! You deserve it!

Good luck with the fill. Every pound counts. Our own brains are the last to see the changes. Not unusual at all!

      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!
