Yup.....I get that a lot too. It doesn't bother me. I get more annoyed when people ask me how much I've lost. That's such a personal thing to reveal, I don't have a problem posting it here but I do feel awkward giving my weight loss numbers to some skinny person who prob doesn't relate at all to my struggles.

The other day while at Lowe's, I was told that I don't look old enough to have a teenager. (I do, I am, I dont't; he won't be 13 nil December. LOL!). It felt good to hear, so I graciously accepted the compliment.

I hope I look younger. I've been told recently I have a baby face, but I always felt my weight aged me. It was awesome when I was a teen- people always thought I was at least 20, I would get away with being able to drink when i was underage (I know, I know...BAD me!) but now that I'm approaching my mid 20's (scary thought!) I feel like it's not such a good thing and may be making me look older then I am which isn't something I want anymore lol. So I'll happily take people carding me for PG movies some day!

Right now I'm often told I don't look my age (48). I'm afraid that once

I'm sleeved and start losing weight, my face and neck will un- plump and I'll look so much older that my age!

I hope I get that comment!

Last year at my birthday an acquaintance asked me how old I was and another one said "Ooooh I wasn't sure if I should ask or not cause I wasn't sure how old you are..."

I WAS TURNING 24! I was like "Noooooooooooooooo - I look old enough to care?!" We all had a good laugh about it, but I was kind of sad that I looked old enough to be concerned =p

I started getting told that I look younger almost immediately. I've only lost 30 pounds so far and the more I lose, the more I hear it.

Yes- just last week a guy came up to talk to my hubby and I in the park- he mentioned how nice it was for me to be there walking with my DAD! Lmao! To his defense I dont wear my wedding ring right now because it's a size 9.5 and now I wear a size 6.5- but still!

It was so funny :)

      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!
