Thanks everyone. I am in a better mood today. I woke up to a one pound loss. Minky..the inches are the most important. Seeing a difference in your clothes is life changing. I bought a new shirt today. First time since surgery. If anyone is down about the pounds go try on smaller sizes. Even if you don't buy anything ..... it will give you the motivation you news to keep up the fight!!!

I am 11 weeks out. Down 44 pounds. I am a little bummed its not more at this point. There is so much pressure when everyone is watching you. The last thing you want to do is fail. I hate the dreaded question "so how far down are you now?" Does anyone else feel this way?

I am now 11 wks n i have lost 41 since surgery day n i am also frustrated.

Ugh im 4 weeks out and getting tired of ppl asking me how do you feel or how much have you lost before saying hi... I told a few ppl but my dad made sure everyone found out... My dr told me he would prefer if only a few ppl knew because they are gonna keep asking me that forever!! He told me he had been really sick years ago ans ppl still ask him how he's feeling even though years have gone by.. My dad's bday was 2 weeks ago and about 30 ppl i barely know and some ive never met before greeted me by asking questions like how much i've lost... Im regretting ppl knowing... Also ppl who kniw tend to feel like they have to say something so i have friends go up to me and say ohhhh you look so much better... Ive been living out of the country for a year ppl last time you saw me i weighed less than i do now!!!

      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!
