Well I have hit my 1 year anniversary and feel today is bittersweet. I have 30 lbs to go before I am to my weight goal (so not a happy day) but I can fit the wardrobe I bought a year ago when I started this journey (so I am happy about this achievement!) I have been stalled at 156 for the past month (not surprised) and will continue to work at getting the last 30 lbs off.

I looked at pictures from a year ago and then look in the mirror. I see the difference in my figure but my mind still says I am overweight. I want to get upper arm surgery but know I need to wait until I am to my goal before I start the process of getting the extra skin removed.

So this next year's goal is to work on body image, loose the last 30 and then get plastic surgery.

All i can say is Wow! That is a great accomplishment. i have read that it might take VS up to 2 years to loose the weight. I am like you and would like to reach goal weight at my year mark but I don't think so with a weight loss of a pound per week. You have done exceptional though. So way to go. My arms are bad too. Good Luck!!

You've lost a teenage girl! LOL. Congrats!

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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!
