WOOT WOOT!!!!

I haven't been on the boards for a while and when I get on I see THIS GREAT NEWS???? Way to go! I'm so happy for you.

@esskay77 -- work the plan. Eat your Protein first. Avoid carbs except fruits/veggies. Exercise consistently (weight bearing and cardio). If you're off track, talk to your doctor and nutritionist. I hit my goal at 5-1/2 months following the plan exactly. I'm feeling fantastic, loving the new level of energy and I've gotten to where the eating plan is my normal routine. You can do it, too!

I don't have a standing photo since I reach goal but here I was holding my granddaughter. You can tell by my face and skinny legs...I will get a better one soon...(over 80 inches gone)

Rocking those boots! Funny -- I lost inches everywhere but I still have big calves and have trouble finding big-calf boots. Even the extended calf ones are usually too tight to zip! :)

      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!
