Just wanted to post my progress because I can't believe 29 lbs has made such a huge difference!

I had surgery June 4th and have gotten off 1:2 medications..

Pre surgery: 194

Day of surgery: 188

Today: 165

I only did 1 day of Milk of Mag I did not need a pre surgery diet.

I can't fit into my clothes from before surgery and it feels amazing! I have about 35 more pounds to lose! I still have my BP meds to get off of. Hopefully that will happen soon.

I would love to see more inspirational photos posted, it keeps me going!

I have to say, the first 2 weeks were HELL!!! But if you can get through those hard times its SO worth it!

I went back to work on Monday and I have so much more energy and I love it!!

Yes! Literally for 2 weeks I cried almost everyday telling myself I was stupid for doing this and hating myself for putting myself through hell! I was depressed and it sucked! But as soon as I hit puréed I was able to chew food and felt so much better! Now at 5 weeks Im eating everything an feel awesome! Just get through these next couple weeks and you will feel better! And as soon as you see the scale move and people start the compliments you will feel great!

      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!
