I have lost a little more than 100lbs and have about 30 - 40 to go. I thought it would be a great idea to start a thread for others who are close to goal so we can share our stories, habits and get advice from the vets that have made it to goal. Losing may get more difficult as we get closer to goal and if there are any tips to get there, I'd know I'd love to hear them.

My hope is to to be down 30lbs by the end of October 2013. I'd love to hear tips and about the journey of others.

I am several months ahead of you.....surgery was in October last year. I too have 30-40 lbs. to go. I have been basically stuck at the same weight for the last 5 months, it's very frustrating. I've upped my exercise, but the sugar demon has crawled back into my life. I've fallen off of the wagon big time, so I to would be very interested in getting advice from those who have made it to goal. I'm not giving up, and I feel very blessed to have lost the 100 lbs. that I have, I guess I was just hoping that it wouldn't be this hard.

I wish I could but they have this stupid rule that says you have to have a 100 posts before you can post there, so here I am posting about nothing to get to my 100 posts. ????

LOL

you remind me of myself when i go to the line in the grocery store that says "15 items"

i am the one that will go there with about 20 items :lol:

i always jokingly say to the cashier "I hope i don't get "in trouble/arrested for being here"!!!! ;)

one person promised not to turn me in, THIS TIME!!!! :lol:

go ahead - enjoy the veterans board :)

i won't tell anyone that you haven't posted 100 posts yet!!!!

100 lbs down - congrats

btw - i'm pretty sure other people sneak in too!!!!

      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!
