................my weight loss :scared2:

In the last week three friends, each from different groups (work, choir, neighbor) have commented on my weight loss. Yeah!

I haven't told anyone outside my immediate family that I had surgery so their comments are a little extra encouraging for me.

I've been taking my picture on the monthly anniversary of my surgery. I don't see 'dramatic' results - but I do see a difference.

How many pounds did you loose before people started to notice?

That's awesome that people are noticing. The last time I lost weight, it was the coolest when people I hadn't seen in a while DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE ME!! It was a hoot. I'd say like "Hello Sally" and Sally would look at me like I was a stranger. People are noticing less now than before just because of how my weight re-distributed itself when I regained, and this is my 2nd time around within a few years.

If they are noticing now, then this is the time it starts. They will notice first your face. Beware though that when you settle closer to your goal weight those comments will come less and less. Do not rely on those to keep you going but do enjoy them for now.

God Bless!

Congrats!! Thats exciting for you! When I had lost about 30lbs, my fam and friends that knew I had surgery said they were noticing. But after 40lbs, everyone I know has commented. So that makes me feel good :scared2:

Isn't that the BEST feeling!! It is is like: FINALLY someone notices enough to actually make a comment to you.

I work with a ton of people and it wasn't until I had lost over 60lbs women started commenting on my wt loss.

      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.

        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!
