84 pounds down and below 300



Recommended Posts

What a great journey. I've dropped 84 pounds since late January. My surgery was on March 9th. I've worked my way up to >250 miles per week on my bike. I rode 81 miles last Saturday. Tomorrow will be the first day to ride on the road bike that I rode 6 years ago when I regularly rode 300 miles each week. I still have about 120 lbs to goal, but this feels good!

Cloths are interesting. I've taken the last few months off work, which for me is a suit and tie gig. I'm looking at going back to work in June, and now have the issue of buying new suits. We went to dinner at a friends house tonight - most of my cloths just fall off and are useless to me.

Thanks to everyone for your support! You all rock!

@Rogoful - until today I've been riding a Catrike Expedition. It's a recumbent trike. Very fun to ride and easy on the back and seat. They say the weight limit is 275lbs, but I can tell you it handles about 400lbs.

Today I'm on my road bike, and after 40 miles my backside is hurting. ????

      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.

      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!
