Today I'm 184 and based on the BMI calculator I'm no longer Obese now is Overweight at 29.7 BMI, this is a big accomplishment! haven't seen this number for over a decade :) This last three months have been slow weight loss (11 pound loss in those 3 months), but I'm happy I could tell my clothes feels much better. Plus I know its not a race I know I will get to my goal weight, I just have to stay focus.

Fantastic! I haven't checked my BMI. I need to do that and see where I am. Keep plugging along!

You should try it @@lorri716, it made me feel really good, starting with a 40 BMI and now been in the upper 20's just made me see the huge improvement I've had throughout this journey.

Anyone with dreadlocks who has Hair loss? Just curious how this will work with middle back length full adult locks.

I personally don't have any experience with dreadlocks. I did had bad hair loss it started at 3 months and it lasted until I was 5 1/2 months, now it's much better. I did notice the hair loss was more when I took a shower or when I brushed my hair.

Hi there, how has your progress been?

I've been doing g pretty good. I'm stuck at 186 for the last week. But I'm ok with it. I know the scale will move again, I just hope it's sooner rather than later. How's it going for you?

Good morning. I'm on vacation in Virginia Beach with my best friend, give me the strength to get through these next couple days without completely going off the deep end with food and alcohol lol. I'm just hoping to get through without a gain. Wish me luck.

@@lorri716 it sounds so much fun! Enjoy your time with your friend. Just try to stick with Protein first. I notice when I don't eat the protein at the times I should I start looking for something to eat and sometimes is not the best option. Take lots of pictures!!

Have been out for awhile. Happy to hear all are doing well. I am 6 months out now and down to 144lbs. Feeling really good. So much energy. Eating most foods but in small amounts and sticking to my new food choices. I do like layes potato chips thats my weakness. Still want to lose 15 more lbs.

      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!
