YAY YOU!!!!!! Congratulations! You must be so proud of yourself, and the pic is adorable.:tt2:

Thanks! It's one of those "hold the camera above our heads and click" type pictures! Maybe I should take all my pics this way - it lessened my double chin!

Boy do I need some botox on that forehead of mine!!! My eye was really tearing. But my teeth were looking pretty white.

I didn't think there was supposed to be Fluid in my band either. I think Dr.K was surprised as well. I'm not sure what happened...:tt2:

It's my understanding the Band comes primed with a little. Mine had 1.7 in it.

Mine must have had a little in it too. Cuz, when we took it all out I was to have 7.3 but I had 7.4 instead. Not a lot but a little.

Mini! It looks like I'm not going to come close to meeting my goal this time! It was a little bit much! I admit!

Dee, WTG Lady. That is so awesome. I am so happy for you and you look wonderful to boot. Love the picture you and your daughter are so beautiful.

It was such a blast! You've got to do it next year with us! Thanks for the compliments! I love doing fun - healthy stuff with my daughter now!

Well, I think several of us are in the same boat. I seriously doubt I'll make mine either . . . but you know what? As long as we're all doing our best, that's all we can do! At least we're not gaining!!!

Drive by...

I DID IT!!! I ran my first 5k, not 100 percent sure about the time, but somewhere like 30-35 minutes. I cried like a baby crossing the finish line and couldn't stop running, just kept going like Forest Gump...LOL

Oh yeah, the date on my camera was not set!

Hey Guys!

I did it!!! I really did it!!!

AND sadly, I didn't see Mal or Brandy! There were only about 70,000 people! The first race at 7am, for Women only had 31,000! Can you imagine? Here is a pic of my daughter and me AFTER the race! See, I'm still alive! AND not a sweaty mess!

I found this really nice couple, a father - walking for his wife and his daughter. He had a cane! I told my daughter, "he's my pace car - like at the Indie 500." We made sure we were always with him or a little faster than him. His daughter got a kick out of us! I am going to do it again next year! AND I'm going to get my friends to do it too! If they come to your town, join in!

Congratulations Dee, I am so proud of you. You and your daughter look FAB! Your daughter looks so much like you, she has your sweet smile.

Chris and I did the first race, I know...I told him to pretend to be woman. I saw a lot of men in that race. I WAS a sweaty mess, but it was a great feeling.

I left my phone in my car, so I couldn't hook up with anyone. I even lost Chris and Mike and had to ask a stranger if I could use his phone so I could find them.

YAY for us!

      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.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
