These are my pictures six months after surgery. It had been going well. Still a low of learning on my part but I am happy! I have lost 131 pounds! I went from a size 30/32 down to a 14/16 short and an 18 pants.... So excited! Just wanted to drop in and show some pics.

Congratulations!! You look great! How did u loose so much in 6 months?? I'm schedules for march 19th.. Any tips?

Thanks everyone!!! I looked at my post and noticed swype was not my friend last night! LOL... I did not proofread before I sent it but I will with this one! So many typos. @carbgrl the funny thing is I actually started out doing Richard Simmons everyday with my belly bands on. I moved very exaggerated while doing it for a more intense workout. The weight seemed to be melting off. After I noticed a weight slow down I added climbing Stone Mountain to my regimen. That is a park where there is mountain climbing. This helped with leg and butt toning as well as good cardio. As far as food is concerned I was very strict in the beginning doing the liquid to purees and then gradually added foods as told. Carbs are not my friend so I ”try” to stay away from them. But I do a lot of seafood and veggies. Some fruit because of the sugar, but I do have some when I want it. I have tried most things but I admit they are not as appeasing as before surgery and I am so happy! @HopeThruFaith yes I have excess skin problems with my arms mostly. A little on my thighs but I think extreme training will help that. And of course my stomach but I think my 2 kids helped with that... Lol. I hope that I answered all questions. Thanks again for the support everyone!:-D

      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'. ???

        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!
