NSV this morning



Recommended Posts

My brother-in-law came in late last night to spend the night, I was asleep so he didn't see me. I was really hoping to keep my weight loss from him and his wife and surprise them this spring when we rode the Harleys down to their house. I purposely put on baggy pants and a big bulky sweater to hide some of the weight loss. I walked out in the dining room and right off the bat he said "Boy Betty, you have lost weight". I said yeah, a little bit. He said "no, a lot".

I loved getting the compliment, but sure was hoping to hide it for a while from them. I guess I will have to try and lose a lot more before I go~ :)

Betty, -42 pounds! That's a whole anorexic person! Seriously, that's a big chunk and I'm glad he noticed. He'll be even more impressed by springtime and you're down another chunk. Congratulations!

I agree with Vera. Get into some tight jeans NOW! You have lost a LOT of weight and you can't hide it anymore! Silly girl! :)

As the loss slows and we feel like we struggle for every pound, it can start to feel like we have so much more to lose. Others can still see the difference, though. Take the compliments as a reinforcement that you really are changing. You are sure to change a lot more by spring.

shake it girl! I bet you look like a million bucks! I think I would have kissed my Brother-in-law right on the top of the head for being such a sweetie! Really... you should be so darn proud of yourself and let your little light shine!

      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!
