Under 200!



Recommended Posts

I have been lurking here since before my surgery on 4/18/2011. The weight has been coming off steadily, with some stalls here and there. Through the knowledge gained in this group, I've known not to worry about the stalls. When the clothes sizes weren't coming down quickly, I learned that once you pass from plus into regular sizes, the sizes start dropping fast. Again, you all were right.

Today is a victory, so I thought I'd share. This morning the scale read 199.4. Now, I've been waiting for this awhile, hovering every morning, so this isn't a surprise. It's been reading 208 for about 6 weeks now and recently started decreasing again. Even though I knew it was coming, I could not believe my eyes.

I've lost 80# now and have gone from a size 26 down to a 16 (so far!) - all in 6.5 months. To say I feel both mentally and physically great is a gross understatement.

Thanks for all your postings that help me all the time. Here's to the next 25!

I am jealous, getting under 200 pounds might not be in the cards for me. Most guess my weight at about 180 as I am tall and lanky now but the scale knows the truth and I would just like to hop on one morning and get the same surprise you did.

Congrats!

      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!
