My Mom is flying in from Michigan. I haven't seen her since the weight loss. I don't know why but I'm a little bit nervous. :) the last time she saw me I weighed more than 100 lbs more than I do right now. It's crazy!!

I think it makes sense to be a little nervous. Seeing someone you care about for the first time after losing a lot of weight is a big deal. You should be proud of yourself nevertheless and I imagine your mom will feel proud of you as well.

I bet your mom will be absolutely thrilled! You're probably nervous because you love your mom and what she thinks has high value to you. I bet she is going to be so happy for and proud of you!

I know my mom was so worried about my future as an obese person. She worried about my happiness, my quality of life, and the health problems I was likely to develop as a result of it all. She has told me she is so happy and worries a lot less!

Mom's are great. Enjoy your time with her!!

I felt that way the first time I saw my parents after surgery. I was excited and down about 50 lbs. They were very complimentary and then my mom said that now I could stop losing weight. She says that everytime she see me now. it's kind of hilarious.

Oh wow! How exciting. I know that she will be proud and excited for you! Especially the fact that you are a healthier (probably more self confident) woman! Have a great visit!!!

      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.

      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!
