It has been 8 weeks and 5 days since my surgery. Today I found out that after being on vacation for the past nine days I lost a pound for every day I was gone. That means that my month long stall is OVER!!! Hip hip hooray!

Today I flew on a plane. Previous to surgery I was pretty sure I would need an extender - today I had about 7-8 extra inches of seat belt :)

And, I have lost 40% of my excess weight in a little under 9 weeks. I still have a ways to go - 65 more lbs, but I feel like it is going to happen.

Happy happy day to everyone!

I soooo can relate to the plane thing..I just few weeks ago at the end of June and didn't need an extender either...awesome feeling isn't it??!!!!!! And my butt didn't spill over into my daughters seat...not that it ever bothered her because she is a twig and could have two obese people sitting next to her and still would have room to spare..I just noticed I fit..and that felt good! Keep up the good work..it only gets better!!!!

      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.

      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!
