First NSV Post!!! -40 lbs (pics included)



Recommended Posts

I am over the TOP right now. This morning the scale showed that I have now lost 40 lbs!!! AND.....I put on a pair of work slacks this morning that I have not worn in "8" years. YES, 8 years!!! WHAT A FEELING!! Of course my boyfriend had to ask why I still have slacks from 8 years ago. Well, because they are classic work slacks that won't go out of style and I had hoped that one day I could wear them again. AND I CAN!!!

WOO HOO! See it pays to keep clothing that never goes out of style!

I was a good yo-yo dieter and had clothing in every size in my closet from 16-24. Now I'm wearing 12's woo hoo!

Thanks to all......I am very happy but realize that this is only the beginning. I tend to be a slow loser but I will get there. It's not a 50 yard dash, it's a marathon. I love shopping in my closet and the thrift stores are GREAT! The ONLY issue I have currently is the Hair loss. It started at two months out and now it's been going on for about 5 weeks. It hasn't let up and I don't know how much more I can lose until you see the scalp. It is getting VERY thin......it started out thin and fine. Now it's broken and thin and fine. I've hear the stories of how hair grows in 3 month intervals but I want to know how long this usually lasts. I can't stand having to keep sweeping up and vacuuming up hair.

      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!
