And I am out here in Central Ohio, my smallish- 20,000- city is called Mount Vernon- my family has lived in this area since leaving New England in the Early 1800s? Know family legend was that they traveled down the Erie Canal And down into Northern Ohio, and across my state to this area.
Much farther along , 13 months today, trying to make it down the last 5-10 pounds, depending how your scale weighs-- to my goal of 175-- sounds like STILL an amount of weight? Not when YOU started at 365+ like ME and I'm 73, never gonna be Slim and Sleek unless you're hoping for Emaciation , which I am NOT. Blue, almost periwinkle blue TODAY, it gets LONG and tedious at times, but I was BORN to Triumph and I am still not ready to Give Up. So I do ❤ reading each of your Stories, 🙏pray for Each of You, keeps ME from fixiating on Myself!

No, I'm not nervous at all. I don't start the diet until Thursday. I actually started it on my own last week, and by day 3 I became very nauseous. I will and thank you.

I'm in Central Virginia, a little town (3,300 pop) called Elkton. It's claim to fame was that Patsy Cline used to live there. Nice thing about Elkton, it can only grow so big. We're surrounded by national and federal forests. :)

      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!
