My Wife and I are planning to lose half of our body weight. We are a young couple, I'm 29 and she's 24. We decided a couple of nights ago, that we needed a change. I have been overweight most of my life, especially when puberty hit. I used to be able to play sports, I loved playing soccer, football, basketball, softball, you named it , i played it. Now I'm barely able to get up and down twelve steps at work without breathing heavy. It gets depressing when you dont feel like having the energy to do anything. We just want to get our lives back and be able to do everything. We want to be able to see our future kids have kids. I want to be able to run again. We want to have decades of success instead decades of Doom, like another poster said. We plan to have a website up soon and we will let you know how we are doing on our goal of losing half of our bodies.

      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!
