Hi all,

I've been hovering around goal for weeks but today I am finally, officially there! I weighed 134.5 this morning. It's not my normal weigh in day, but I said the day I get to goal, that's the day I declare it!

Time to join the maintenance threads!!!!

I'm loving my new life. Over the course of this, I have spent time worrying I would never get to goal so it is extra sweet that I am here!

During the last 10 months I have learned:

  • How to walk with my knees closer together and my back straight because I'm not carrying 100+ extra pounds everywhere I go.
  • Tracking food and Water can be easy: I use a white board on my fridge door.
  • I have to have a group exercise. I simply will not exercise on my own.
  • I look great in $5 tshirts from Walmart and Target.
  • Probably two pounds of my weight loss is from my thinner hair, but it is coming back!
  • The freezer is my friend. I freeze lots of bits of veggies and meats and reuse them later.
  • Only the skinniest people obsess about my weight loss. What's up with that?

I'm looking forward to maintaining my weight and enjoying my healthy life. I feel like I've been given a gift of good health and I am enjoying it every day!

      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!
