LOL! @Teachamy - been a long time since i have been called skinny or considered myself even remotely thin... your comment made me giggle! Thank you!

Thank you everyone for all your wonderful comments!! i was so neverous to post my pictures... idk, we are all in the same boat and so many others have posted pictures, i dont know why i was so insecure to do it too... to me, it feels like i am standing naked in front of a group of people... lol - again thank you so much for the comments!

Great job, you look fantastic! I'm about 5 months out too. Despite exercise efforts I still feel very thick waisted! What are you doing for exercise to get such a tiny waist?

Again, GREAT job, you look wonderful!

all i have done, is walk. Actually i havent been allowed to work out due to a DTV (blood clot) i have only been allowed to walk a mile a day & not all at once. I have been just cleared this past tuesday to start walking & light work outs.

WAY Back when i was in highschool & in my 20's i was very small waisted - I am really in shock that my waist is shrinking the way it is... However I hardly eat anything that has been processed... I eat 90% whole foods.. and no pork, bread, Pasta at all, and hardly any sugar... I only drink Water, skim milk & Protein shakes once in a great while i will have 1oz of red wine - My taste buds are so crazy wacky... if i eat anything processed or from a pig, it makes me very sick....

Thank you for the nice comments! Take care :)

      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!
