Me to! I was talking to my husband this morning about how my skin is so clear. I'm super excited to see myself transform, there is no feeling like it! Good luck to you on your journey!

Yay! Something else to look forward to. I wonder if lots of Water and simple, "pure" foods are part of the reason. Anyone know the real reason why?

I think it could be due to number of factors - the amount of hydration we are gettting - I used to be one of those that just drank coffee all day with milk and sugar. Now, no sugar, limited dairy cept for hard cheeses, more walking, fresh, I quit smoking after a pack a day habit that lasted 28 years, simple meals, very rare for us to eat processed foods now, recuperating forces us to rest a bit. all of the supplements - hah the list could go on and on. My skin is clear but hope my new turkey neck starts to shrink lol.

And last but not least happiness and hope at finally being able to shed some stubborn weight makes me glow most days now :)

Dont be suprised if that changes. My skin was great until a few weeks after surgery. Then got very oily and had a lot of breakouts. It lasted 2-3 weeks then it was back to normal.

I believe it's because we're eating a healthier diet, drinking more Water and not taking in a toxic substance called sugar. Sugar is toxic and attacks our organs in so many different ways. I love eating healthy most days and I have so much more energy. my skin is clear, but I do have some lose skin that i don't like. It's like a muffin top! Yuck! But it's better than having 77 lbs back on! :)

      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.

        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!
