I Reached My Goal !!!!!



Recommended Posts

:clap2:

Yesterday I went to my doctor's appt. It has been exactly 7 months and 3 weeks that I started my journey. I was 251 lbs and I am now 142 lbs. I can't believe I lost 109 lbs. This time went so fast for me and such a learning experience. I only hope that I will be able to maintain my weight for the rest of my life. Thank God I can always go to the doctor's office to get a fill that I still have never received. My problem is keeping it off and at least I am able to use this tool as my maintenance program. My journey really has only just begun. The scary part is ahead of me.

I am trying to get a before and after picture on here and I am having difficulties. I have to wait in the morning to see if someone at work can help me out with this.

I gotta go !

      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!
