I went on my pre op diet July 19tj weighing in at 307. My highest way ever was the summer before at 322. My surgery was July 29th and I weighed in at 297. I was worried that I wouldn't do good with this new life.

The first couple weeks I struggled but then I started feeling better. Once the pain was gone I started loving the weight coming off. I am now a little over 4 months out and down 65#. I have had a few stalls and am in the midst of one now but I started comparing pictures because I still don't see it when I look in the mirror. Right now I only have face before amd after but later I will do whole body. I need some more motivation. :)

Honestly I just try to forget and keep eating right.. I did go off track over thanksgiving and am trying to kick the bad sugars again. Usually when I stall i just try to change up what I am eating. I usually only track when I am in a stall... usually It breaks but sometimes injust have to wait it out.. its frustrating but I know if I do the right thing it will work itself out...

Thank you all for the kind words. When I did the full body I kind of was shocked. I guess I didn't realize how big I looked or how small I have gotten.

Thanks. Coincidence actually. I took that picture then looked for a full body picture and that's what I found lol :) majes a good comparison though. Crazy that even friends and family wete in denial about how big I was.. I posted it on Facebook and got soooo many responses but most were that wasn't you. I don't remember you being that big...

      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!
