First of all, you look amazing! Congratulations. I really trust my surgeon. I listen to everything he tells me. The one thing he tells me is that 150 lbs is perfect for me. Then if I want to set a new goal after that that I could. For him, he was happy with the 150. I started at 227lbs. I am now a size 4/27 in jeans. It's a great feeling. I started to gain the weight back a little because I started to get lazy with the exercising. This all happened this past year. So I started exercising again and hopefully I can get back to where I was before at 153. I put on 30 lbs this winter. I eat right. No carbs. Plenty of Protein and Water. But if you don't exercise it just comes right back to you. So I am back on the exercising and I can't get lazy. I have neuropathy in my legs due to a spine injury. But I can't let that get in the way. My advice to you is do whatever makes you happy. You look amazing.

You look amazing. Congratulations. The only real person who can determine if you need to keep losing is you, but be honest with yourself. You admitted that you still see a "fat person" when you look in the mirror. That sounds more like body image problems than a real necessity to lose more weight. Talk to a professional about that, consult with your doctor, and Celebrate the new you!

      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.

      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!
