NSV: I've lost 1.6 two-year-olds...How about you?



Recommended Posts

I'm on vacation this week, and when we were walking through Sea World today, I was carrying my 31 pound 2-year-old nephew. He was getting very heavy and didn't want me to put him down and didn't want anyone else to carry him. Suddenly I had the thought that I used to be carrying around that much weight plus about 20 pounds. That made me very happy about my progress and reminded me of how much better I feel without that extra weight. That was a great NSV moment! And, it gave me the momentum to keep going. :blush:

So, what analogy can you use to really make your weight loss come to life?

If I use your analogy, I've lost all three of my children (42lbs, 36 and 36)---

We were walking this weekend and my 4 year old wanted to be picked up...I didn't even make it .5 mile....too heavy and hard and I was SWEATING!!!

When I'm at goal, I'll have lost the dog as well!

I have almost lost my 17-month-old twins. They are 20 and 23 pounds . . . so, 8 more pounds to go and I'll have lost them.

And here I thought it was great when I finally got all 13 pounds of them out of my belly at their birth! Little did I know it would feel better to lose them as toddlers! haha!

      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!
