Hello all,

Well my body has finally realized that something is different now. There were a few weeks where it seemed like I was going to lose so slowly. My body has finally accepted that something is different with how I eat and I am dropping weight more quickly. I do my official weigh-ins on mondays but I'm not gonna lie, I weigh myself throughout the week as well. Maybe one day I will no longer be a slave to the scale. We'll see. I put on a tshirt yesterday that is usually a little snug and when I looked in the mirror yesterday I was like hey, its not sticking to my tummy, its actually a little loose. I am so excited and happy. My weight was becoming an issue in my marriage because my husband new how unhappy I was weighing so much and now he senses that i'm happy so its a lot less stress. Thank you everyone for all of your continued support.

I'm glad things are better for you and the hubby, that's great. Did you lose all that weight in 5 weeks? :thumbup: That's seriously amazing. WTG.

WOW! I have found 3 ways to measure my success - the scale, measurements, and the way my clothes look. I too weigh everyday since I track it to see patterns. But, I try not to lose heart and little ups and downs since I have other things to measure against.

Last night, I tried on a new pair of shorts I bought. I could not believe the thin woman looking back at me in the mirror. It was like seeing me in high school again (well, minus the gray hairs and the facial wrinkles LOL). WOW! What a great feeling. I'm sure you were the same seeing your t-shirt being lose. Isn't it AWESOME?!?!?!?

      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.

        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!
