100 just feels arbitrary after all the work I've put into my new lifestyle. Still, it's a BFD, I guess ;) I have about 60 lbs to go. My long term goal is 127, which is literally, the highest I can weigh and have a 24.99 BMI. I know BMI is just one metric, but it's the thing that's been shoved in my face for the last decade as "proof" of what was "wrong" with me. So I'd like to flip ole' BMI the bird. If I end up looking or feeling too skinny or unhealthy, I think my body will let me know when to stop losing. It's definitely slowed down at almost 6 months out.

You look great! Congrats! I hear you on the BMI thing. I feel like the weight at which I would be a normal weight according to the chart will make me look too skinny. I guess time will tell. Also, side note, I now want an Angry Orchard after seeing the sign behind you in the 4th picture. haha

You look great. Good job. Rock on!

FYI...your post title says "16 months," not "6," like in the post itself. Just an observation. SiX is even better! Congrats!

Thank you! And good eye! What l meant is, I started getting serious exercising & losing weight in July 2014, when I recorded my HW of 291. I lost 31 lbs prior to surgery and 70 since! Woot!

      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!
