I want to say thankyou to everyone. Before I had surgery you were there for me. After surgery you were there for me. Some even took the time to send me a pravite message to ask if I was feeling ok. During my weight lost you were there. When I wasn't eating you were right there by my side. I feel so love this is group. I never felt so much companion love & caring.

Now I'm 43 pounds towards my weight goal,and I feel I'm getting there sooner then expected. I walk around thinking i'm the best looking thing since chocolate was invented. I feel so sexy. Men are checking me out. My hubby is checking me out LMFAO...

If you need my love-help-support. I'M RIGHT HERE JUST FOR YOU... WE CAN GET THREW GOOD TIMES HARD TIMES & ANY TYPE OF ISSUES THAT COME ALONG... Together we stand!

Sending my love to all Maybelin {mamiof3kids}

That is quite normal believe it or not between swelling and Water retention the scale may show a gain. Please don't be discouraged! My best advice is to step away from the scale for a week or two. We trend to agonize over the numbers on the scale but they are just that, numbers! Try to focus on the positive changes you have been making in your life and know you can and will accomplish your goals! The healthier you is just around the corner... Hang on and enjoy the journey!

Absolutely nothing to worry about. I so agree with Mary - focus on following the protocol and staying away from the scales for a couple of weeks! You'll be glad you did and the result will definitely put a smile on your face!

      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!
