Thank you all for your honesty



Recommended Posts

Ok so my 1 year is in 2 weeks and I am 30 pounds from my goal and somehow I am ok with that. I am so thankful to each of you for your honesty as it tells me that I am still successful. I am also thrilled that I see many of you from other forums and your name's are familiar to me. I have not lost anything in the last 2 months and again I am ok with that. I am going to try the 5:2 method and keep sticking to my guns. I have found that reading these posts help me and actually I haven't read any in two months and haven't lost any weight so I believe that reading this forum daily helps me more than I knew. HONESTY is going to be my key to success and i hope to stay honest with myself to lose 30 more and maintain. It actually feels great not losing as I haven't gained either so maybe this is a final stand via a long plateau. I am so happy to be a part of this community.

Thanks Jenn1 I do feel like a success and will strive to continue my journey as I walk into year 2 of a great decision. I feel hopeful that in year 2 I will lose the last 30 and be at goal. ????

You are a success!!!! Congratulations!!!! In the past year (since reaching my first goal that I randomly set), I felt like the losing was slow going. But I just reached my "dream goal" and I looked back over the last year and was surprised to see I had lost an additional 19 pounds and 22 inches!!! So even when it feels like it has completely slowed, stick with it. I think you'll be surprised at your results. :-)

      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!
