35-40 Pounds Down... Same Sweatshirt!



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Wanted to share some progress pictures... I'm somewhere between 35-40lbs down from my highest weight (which was only 3lbs off my surgery weight) depending on the day, time, etc... I am trying really hard not to be a slave to my scale because it gives me rage, heh. Please excuse the complete lack of hair and makeup in any of these pictures... I swear I'm not this much of a bum every day!

Here are a couple that I took about a month ago (1.5 weeks after surgery) and then yesterday:

40lbs03

40lbs02

Standing on my toes in this one, heh. I'm all of 5'1" so I have to do that to see anything below my torso!

And here's one with my family at Disney in February 2012, 2.5 months before surgery, and one from today. Same sweatshirt! That's sort of what inspired this post, hehe.

40lbs01

I had surgery 4/19/12 and I'm happy with my progress. Not watching the scale helps, trust me. Can't wait for the next 40 to be off!!!

Have a great day everyone :)

      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!
