I think that’s just normal as it shrinks. It doesn’t look as bad to others as it does to yourself. We are our own worst critics and all that.

Keep up the great work!

I've lost 225 pounds, and I have that on my tummy, arms, and inner thighs. And no one has ever said a thing about it. (Though I am considering having some plastics work done this fall, but we'll see about it.)

I agree that we are our own worst critic...

Wow! Congrats on the 70lbs down!!! I bet you don't feel like you could pop anymore? Agree 100% on being our own worst critics!

Look at it the way I look at my 2 stretchmarks on my belly. I got them through my pregnancies and they're my skin's diary documenting the two best things that ever happened to me. This is one of the most significant points of your life. Look at your dimpled tummy and learn to smile because it symbolises the amazing changes you've made and how far you've come. X

That is a very good sign. Your body is feeding off its fat reserves. Unfortunately this isnt going to occur uniformly at once, but eventually it will even out as fat stores in one area are depleted your body will draw energy from another.

      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.

      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!
