Just a quick question. When did you start posting pictures of the new you on social media? I'm 7 weeks out and really not planning on doing it until I'm closer to goal. Most of my family on Facebook doesn't know I've had surgery and I don't want to tell them anything but it will be obvious I've done something when I post pics.

All my friends on Facebook know. I have been posting my progress through pics since my surgery almost 3 months ago. I have wonderful support and they love hearing my updates. I understand there are people who like to be more private about it, but obviously I'm not one of them :) I enjoy the encouragement and support.

I have posted a few pics as I got closer to my goal weight but I have not advertised that I've had WLS. If someone asked me what I've been doing I usually would private message them and tell them.

I don't post a lot of pictures of myself on social media but every so often if I think my hair or makeup looks cute or if my outfit is really on point, I may post a picture or two. I'll probably continue the same way.

Who knows? If I didn't think I was cute I might have had this surgery sooner. ;)

      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!
