Have you ever seen a 299 pound woman dance a jig?

Congratulations Gibson, You are doing great! Besides, dancing the jig burns calories so dance away!

Thanks for all the well wishes but Son of a BLANK! It was fun while it lasted but today I'm back up to 306.6. This is soooooooo slow that I'm dying here!

I'm going to start low carbing tomorrow though, so that should help. Low carbing is the only thing that's ever made me lose weight. *sigh*

Oh well, at least I haven't given up completely!

My weight does that too, but when it goes up I don't count it...I just wait for it to go down again.

Me too. And it really pisses me off too. Even on my bad days I'm at about half of what I should be eating to lose 2 pounds a week at a completely inactive activity level. And I excercise almost daily - maybe not a lot but I burn usually 150-400 calories. Whaaaaaahhhh! Okay, whine sequence completed, moving on to productive/happy day cycle.

Don't worry Gibson, I think that happens to many of us. It's most likely just some Water retention. Give it a few days and I'm sure it will fall right back off.

Because that's what I was doing this morning! I finally, FINALLY, after several years have gotten below the THREE HUNDRED MARK!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!! Who ever dreamed I'd be ecstatic to see 298.8 on my scale?

Hopefully this will serve as a mental breakthrough to help me focus. LIFE IS GOOD!!!! :eek:

YIPPEEEEEEEEE!!! yeah for you!! You must be so proud. I thought that you were dancing a jig because school was out, but this is better. I am worried about putting on weight when I am home all day. School was much safer. Lord knows I would never eat the food there!

Good Job!!:):)

      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!
