CONGRATS!!! I remember when I lost my first 100 pounds!!! 🙃 It's the best feeling in the world. That was 2 1/2 years ago. I've kept that plus more off. It's hard work but well worth it!!!

Now for your co-workers, yes it hurts. The only thing I can think of is jealousy. You said the right thing in the beginning, you have the best support system! Many don't have that. Their also a success in helping you lose the 100 pounds. GREAT GOING! 😊 🤣

You look great! Thank God you don't need your coworkers for validation, forget them! I can almost bet money its mostly jealously, so with that being said, don't give it ANY attention. Work on reaching your goal, and then coming up with a plan to maintain it!

Hit a big milestone today...I'm 9 months post-op & lost 100 lbs! So happy for myself though Still working towards goal. Couldn't be happier with my results & my decision to take this step towards a happier-healthier life. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! I have wonderful support system and for that I'm so grateful. It's funny tho certain people (mostly co-workers) have not commented or asked me 1 question since surgery 9 months ago (which I was open about from the get go). I'm not sure what to make of that but truthfully my family & my "true" friends opinions are what matter to me. I feel like an ugly/angry weight has been lifted from my shoulders which left me feeling lighthearted & happy!


On an unrelated note, has anyone told you that you now look like Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas!? Thought that immediately when I saw your now pic!

You are absolutely beautiful. I am so happy that you have been so successful. A lot of women are jealous and insecure with themselves so they aren't able to compliment. Thankfully you have a wonderful support system. Congratulations on all of your hard work.

      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'. ???

        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!
