I wasn't sure whether or not to post this as a success story, but here's a (cropped, bad) photo of me as of today. You can see that I'm definitely bulking up, but you can also see where I still have a LONG way to go fat-wise, and a lot of loose skin...

Sorry for the bad image quality, but it's off the cuff, and I really didn't want to get into the horrorshow that is my tummy right now -- just a horrible mess of loose skin!

Thanks for the replies :) I'm going to Hawaii in a few months, and I'm glad I don't have to feel TOO ashamed to go snorkeling without a shirt (aside from the pale Caucasian skin glare factor! I *do* live in Seattle, after all...)

You look hot! Obviously working out. Doesn't look like loose skin to me. Have fun in Hawaii!

Howdy, fellow rain city sleever!

At least during the long, gray rainy winters up here, going to the gym gives us something to do when it's gloomy outside, right? And then during Seattle's epic "six weeks of summer" we get to go outside and show it off!

      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!
