Milestones???



Recommended Posts

Hey Tens,

I was thinking we need a place to share all of our little milestones. Even though my scale does not want to move I had two moments today. The first was that I could not find anything to wear b/c all my day to day clothes were swallowing me, so i found a pair of pants from my smaller years and THEY FIT!!!!! :whoo: Then when I got to work multiple people began to say WOW you're slimming down.

What are your milestones????

that must have been a wonderful feeling. my first milestone was when a girl at work told me she could tell that i had lost weight and she said i look really good.

no one had said anything before...even when i was begging. my dh said that he thinks i lost all 12.whatever pounds in my face ...lol.

Wow, I have a few milestones. I've had a LOT of people tell me they see the weight loss. My clothes are all hanging on me, I'm ready to buy a few new pairs of pants in a smaller size. My bras are loose (bye bye girls!!!). I had a salad last night for dinner and was not hungry afterwards. The list goes on, but I don't have enough coffee in me yet to remember everything!!

My milestone is not being hungry. Finally I am getting used to it. I really went thru a time of thinking that I regret this surgery, how can I eat such small portions and have quality of life. But now that I am allowed to add normal food to the diet, I realize that I can still taste and enjoy everything, just small amounts chewed well. I am not mourning the lost food anymore. I can still go to a restaurant and enjoy the taste of my meal and then bring most of it home so I can enjoy it again (and again and again ...) Anyway, what freedom!

      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!
