Lol. I'm in the same boat. I haven't worn my ring for a few years. I know I need to just hit 200lbs for it to fit...

I have a weird craving for Raisin Bran cereal!

So weird. I've never really eaten it before, maybe a couple times but raisins sound really good right now and I am not about to puree them! :D

I am just the opposite, my wedding ring is too big now. I almost lost it the other day. It slipped right off. I have worn it every day for over 13 years and now it feels strange to not have it. I am not about to get it sized yet because I plan on losing a bunch more weight. Yay!

Hello All, I'm Melissa and my surgery date was 04-08-13, my highest weight was 266 and the day of surgery I was 253, today I am 219! It's been a struggle but I'm getting by!! It's so good to find a group of people who understand what I'm going through!

It is so weird...I too find that I'm craving things now that I would never eat before surgery! And they are actually healthy things...LOL

Came across this picture my hubby took of my belly right after my second surgery...(5 days after RNY)....OMG...i was so miserable. My belly was so tight and swollen! Yes, i was definitely second guessing my decision...but now, I have no regrets :)

If I say something to him about pain or whatever he will just so I told you so I told you noy to have surgery

OMG, I get that same line from my husband whenever I complain about not feeling good or if I can't eat something, it pisses me off... Most times he tries to be supportive but I hate when he uses that line....

      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!
