Im 5'6" started off at 285 and had my surgery on 5/18/2011. 2 days will be my year and I'm currently 173! It is a long road with ups and downs, but it was all worth it! I feel great!

Congratulations Vamp!! So glad to hear you got over the plateau. I know how frustrating that can be!

Panda have no fear I've been at a couple plateaus and it's annoying but it's worth it because I find that once the plateau is done for I start loosing faster! I normally loose about 5-6 lbs a week but during a plateau I only loose 1-2 lbs a week, but I'm happy with any weight loss because before surgery I could barely loose 5 lbs. in a month!

Same for me Panda. I always tell folks that sometimes you lose quickly, sometimes slowly and sometimes not at all. As long as you stay focused on following the protocol, you will succeed. Congratulations!!

Wow - great, great job Maria!! I love success stories. Does it feel like the year went by in a blur? I'm just amazed how fast the time has gone by since I started this journey. Amazing.

Thank you! It did go by very quickly! I remember at first when I was recovering and just starting to eat, the days were so long!! But now I'm basically back to normal, except the portions I eat are still small, of coarse!

      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!
