The way my dr explained it to me is it is actually better to lose at a slower rate because then you won't have as Much loose skin- you have time to firm & tone at the slower rate :) hope he's right!

I need all the help in that area....skin doesn't stretch so well at 50 lol

I have actually told my husband that the difference from before my surgery and now is that I really can't give up when I hit the stalls and get frustrated because the change was my made to my body. That's why I can succeed at this! I just can't give up and I won't sabotage my surgery. I keep telling myself that no matter what or how slowly i will eventually lose this weight' date=' even though it's difficult. I also keep saying slower weight off better For my old skin.

But I'm not saying I'm not experiencing frustration for not losing but I'm having to use positive self talk so I keep going forward with a positive attitude BUT it's sooo hard to see so many losing so much and I lose a total of 6-7 pounds in three weeks!!

Stay strong we will both succeed at this and one day look back and laugh!![/quote']

      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.

        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!
