I am thrilled beyond measure! As of yesterday's weigh in I am no longer obese! I never thought I would be so happy to be "overweight" in my entire life! But I have been obese for ATLEAST the past 10 years. We get so used to how we look/feel we can almost forget how it was before. Two weeks ago we lost my mil to ovarian cancer (btw KNOW THE SYMPTOMS) at the family gathering after the funeral last week a family member I have never met cornered me and said the nicest thing. She said "I was looking at your wedding pictures downstairs (I was larger when I got married) and you were beautiful." (At this point I'm wondering what is coming) Then she says "I mean you WERE beautiful then but now.........now you are so much MORE beautiful." It was such a wonderful compliment and really brightened my mood on a very sad day. Now to continue on until I am a "normal" weight!!!

      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.

        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!
