I wore a strapless dress today for the first time since I was 8 or 9. A little awkward at first but ended up loving it and not fretting the upper arm jiggle! Also wandered around a grocery store in key west in nothing but a bathing suit... Previously would had a shirt or towel or SOMETHING covering that stuff up!

That's great - have a great vacation and lose weight! Vacations have often been dreaded by me (airline seats, roller coasters) but as a family we are already planning a trip for next year and I can't wait!!!

It was truly awesome! I still have 60 pounds to go but I fit in the seat fine, had extra room with the belt, could lay the tray flat! I transferred in Atlanta yesterday and had to go from terminal A to terminal E. I had 2.5 hours so I walked it instead of taking the train, was just a nice stroll, no huffing/puffing/sweating...my fellow vacationers gave out snorkeling before I did cuz they got tired. It was awesome not having to worry about who is be sitting next to or when I'd get a chance to sit down :)

That has to be great and so freeing on the mind. I am glad you had a great time.

      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!

        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.

      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!
