One year and 150 lbs down



Recommended Posts

That's right - one year. 150 lbs. still going but even if I didn't lose another pound I would be happy. I have my life back and it is GOOD. Thanks to those here that have been so supportive.

Big HUGE thanks to Dr. Almanza and Dr. Betancourt and their whole crew. Melissa, my coordinator, who even came to see me during my surgery... What a blessing you all are! Can't wait to come visit and have some fun in TJ!

What keeps me going? Life! I'm too busy to think about stopping!

I never feel deprived or hungry! It's about changing your mindset if you think about food. Instead, think about what food allows you to do.

Willpower is a crap excuse to not do something. Just start doing what you need to do and make it habit.

You didn't become fat through willpower, you won't become healthy through it either.

Form good habits. If you do something enough, it becomes automatic.

      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!
