I have that problem too. I've been using hand weights. Go on you tube and look up exercises for flabby arms. I think it's helping but I know it's going to take time. Good luck.

I still have 60 pounds to lose and I know my arms will need some TLC from a plastic surgeon!

I'm going to need an arm job.

But lets face it...before you lost the weight, did you feel comfortable in short sleeve or sleeveless? I don't. I always wear elbow length or 3/4 sleeves.

My shirts were 99 percent of the time covering my huge arms. I guess there was a point that I was like f it whatever I will never be skinny so let the arm show if it was 90 degree but other then that I was cover.

Yesterday was my 1st encounter with this and I was upset all day. I wore sleeveless and I could see a nice little shoulder and bicep muscle starting from working out. Felt good leaving the house and then in my cars mirror I saw all this extra fat hangin under my arm. Maybe not fat, but skin. I still have another 30-something until my goal so that's only gonna get worse. Same with my upper thigh. Didn't think that would be an issue and yuck! Also I now have stretch marks from my upper thigh down to the middle of my calves. I was so excited for summer losing all this weight and now I'm gonna still be self conscious. :(

      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!
