I was so exhausted last week from work, that I thought I was going to be totally out of commission last weekend, but after a relaxing evening at home on Friday and a goodnight sleep, I was SOOO unbelievably energetic this weekend!! Its been such a long time since I've had this much energy. The past couple weekends have been like this too.

On Saturday I did a ton of stuff around the house and at around 3pm I decided to redo our foyer floor, kind of on a whim, because we kept talking about doing it. By 4 I had the carpet ripped up and the slate tile underneath it ripped out, then went to lowes, picked out new tile and the guy there taught us how to do it, went home and got half of it installed by the time I went to bed. Then just out of sheer excitement, got up at 7:30 on Sunday and went right to work and had it finished by 9am.

Then we completely cleaned the house and then, because of the great weather, detailed the cars. After that was done, we got cleaned up and went to a comedy show in town (where I ended up drinking wayyyy to much wine.) But still was able to get up, come to work and be productive. Gotta love the new energy!!! I was SUCH a slug before. My husband is sooooo happy with how much more energy I have...I'm actually pushing him to do more rather than the other way around. He kept asking me this weekend "How do you still have energy??" cause he was beat!! :)

CRAZY I TELL YOU!!! CRAZY!! :)

Anyone else notice a surge in energy levels??

I have tons of energy now too! I actually felt it about 2 1/2-3 weeks out, it was amazing. I could normally take a nap every day of the weekend but now no naps! It is amazing how just a small amount of weight loss increased your energy. Congrats to you!

That is so awesome Joiebean!!! I've generally been a high energy person but yes, I do have more energy. For me it comes from a state of joy! LOL I'm so happy to have gotten so much of this weight off (still working towards goal) that I feel encouraged and upbeat. The single most frequent compliment I hear, besides "you've lost weight" is "you look so happy!" I think that's really fueling my spirit and then my body LOL Sheer happiness!

      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.

        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.

      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!
