I just started the Couch to 5K app, so maybe that will help with my progress.

I just started this today too! This is my third time trying it. Both other times I ended up pregnant at week 5. (The irony...) There is NO WAY thats an option this time around so I'm breaking that juju and plan to actually finish it!

Thanks Armonet! I have another 50 to get to my first goal. Once I'm there, I'll reassess if I want/need to drop anymore :-)

You lost 28 already??? Wow. That's great. I am out of surgery 10 months and not down even that far. I have trouble comparing my loss too.

missmudd, yes! I was frustrated because I didn't think that was normal. From what everyone is saying, it seems to be though. I've only had 1 fill, so I'll see what happens.

Thank you Sharpie! My surgeon says that slow weight loss is best, but I guess I was expecting a miracle. I want to lose 100 lbs in all and I know I'll get there! You're doing GREAT! Good luck on your last 35 lbs!!!

I'm also looking to lose around 100 lbs. 120 would be fantastic actually. No one really noticed the weight loss until I dropped around 40 lbs. so don't worry if at 28 lbs. down, no one is noticing. They will...believe me, they will. I'm now down 63 1/2 lbs. and folks are noticing...but like I said...it takes a while plus your old clothes will hide the weight loss. Wait until you are wearing new and smaller sizes.

      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!
