I'm down 80 pounds since August 30, 2013. Feeling much better since I started exercising.

Hey everyone.. well for my wife and I, it has been almost 5 months since surgery. I am down 102 lb and my wife is down 85 lb.. she has hit the 67% and I'm 54% our surgeon is amazed at our progress.. When you hit 75% you have Reached the surgery success rate.. not your ideal weight but the fact that surgery was successful. Most don't hit that till 18 months out. I'm posting pics hopefully they go through. Lol. We're able to eat most anything. Except tuna, eggs, and milk. Boiled egg in salad seems to be ok. Other than that our lab work has been ok except Iron. So we are taking ferrous fumarate now.. other than that everything else is great. Oh we have also added Biotin because we are def starting to loose our hair.. that is a bit disappointing but hey its the risk you take I guess. Hope everyone is doing great.

Before and after photos

Well I love to see everyone doing great!!

I am down 80# today!!! it has been 5mths. And I've still got a way to go but im taking it day by day. I got my ab lounger 2 out of the garage n i'm using it. I hav to be real careful wat I do because of my back. :(

I've increased my Biotin n may have to increase even more because so much of my hair is coming out. I hope that gets better real soon.

Hope everyone is doing well.

      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!
