I try to set a few mini-goals along the way and Celebrate them as I accomplish each. My first goal was to when I got to 250 we would celebrate and we did. My next mini-goal was to get to 240 by vacation. I may miss this goal by 1lbs but it still feels like a victory! I cannot believe how far I have come yet I still have a long way to go.

My next mini-goal is to be down 75 lbs and half way to goal when I see my doctor in October. I have 13 lbs to make that mini-goal and they weight loss has fallen off...so I guess I will up the exercise. I hate not reaching goals.

I am 54 years old and will get my Master's Degree next year...I think we are never too old to reach for our dreams!

      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!
