My doc always told me to aim for an A1C under 7 and glucose between 100-120. I was taken off my Metformin (diabetes meds) at discharge from RNY i December and haven't checked my sugar since Christmas. I probably should, especially since I have an appointment with my PCP soon, but I know my sugars are in check.

My personal trainer kicked my hiney today!! We worked on arms (I told her that's my number one goal- No bat wings! I'm too young for that haha) and now they feel like jello!!

She said I am very strong, which I found surprising lol, and that if I wanted to I could probably compete in weight lifting competitions. This made me laugh hard because I thought she was being sarcastic, but she said I was chest pressing 70lbs (which I guess is a lot) and if I worked at it I could lift a lot more.

I will not be competing in any Strongman competitions hahahah

Ok girls, since I have just been hanging at the same weight I decided to try something a bit different to see if it would help. I decided to just drink liquids since I was going to be gone all day and then I had a big salad for dinner. Figured it couldn't hurt and I am really tired of eating period. Well, today I'm down 2 pounds. That's the biggest drop since before surgery. It may come back but I'm. Encouraged for today. Don't know if it just happened or something I did. I feel lighter today, too. Ohh, I hope it continues!

Personally, I would rather have a shake versus meat. Then a nice salad or fruit salad for dinner.

Congrats :-)

I wished I had 16s and 14s saved :-( But unfortunately I haven't seen those sizes in many years. I noticed today that depending on the name on the pants I'm 14 / 16.

When I lost all that weight between 9/2009-12/2010 I had to buy new clothes. Gave my bigger ones to my hubby's co-worker who had WLS. Unfortunately I ended up shoving the smaller stuff to the side and had to buy some new larger stuff when I gained it back. Boo! Won't be doing that crap again.

      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!
