Hi Shontel!! Congrats on reaching goal. Meeee too!!! Isn't it a wonderful feeling??!! I am almost fifteen lbs below goal and working at maintaining. It's a slippery slope. I could continue to lose if I wanted to. I NEED 1200 calories per day to maintain. To accomplish this, I need several Snacks per day. My snack of choice is normally a graham cracker with Natural Peanut Butter on it. I can only eat about a half cup of food at each meal, maybe slightly more, depending on what we're eating. How about you? How much can you eat? How are you maintaining? Are you finding it easy? Could you still lose if you wanted to? I was really worried about gaining but I'm finally relaxing a little and not being as obsessive! I still measure and/or weigh everything when I'm home, of course I just "eyeball" it when I'm out. I am still not really ever hungry, so it works best for me. If we eat out a lot over the weekend, I can gain 3 lbs, but everything goes back to normal on Monday and by Wed or Thursday it's gone, without any effort. I'd love to hear how you are doing.

      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!
