Very encouraging. I'd love to hear a bit about some tools you've used to make such a difference.

I followed my nutritionists plan and as soon as my doctor cleared me for the gym I started exercising and working out. On my right wrist I am wearing a fitbit flex which monitors steps,calories, etc. I recommend some kind of good pedometer. My doctor advised me to walk at least 2 miles a day. I now walk between 4-6 a day. Keeping your heart rate up is key.

It's not bad. I have a little on my arms but it's not that noticeable. Working out helps with loose skin.

Great job Matt. We had almost the exact same starting weight. I was 401. You're doing great and looking good. Keep it up.

How far out are you?

How far out are you?

I'm 17 months post op now. Just had my TT 10 days ago. Someone else asked about excess skin. I had quite a bit around my waist line....there was no avoiding that for me...I had a real big belly. But other than that it's not a problem. I've done alot of working out and alot of running. The lowest I got was 217 but mostly fluctuate around 220-225. But now that I'm post TT I can see abs so I'm not overly concerned with how much I weigh.

      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!
