Thanks Mandy! That's great to know. I love those Dole Whips too! I hadn't thought about asking for half portions, although I know Disney is so accommodating for special situations. I figured I would just eat a bit of whatever my DH ordered. We're heading down next in January. Can't wait!

I think my arms and tummy are showing it more than anywhere else. Hubby says the new picture dosen't do the weightloss justice. I am thinner in my face too but it just does not show in pictures. ~Mandy

I have carpal tunnel syndrome, so I'm typing with clunky braces on my hands. When I clap it's like boards banging together. Can you hear the noise?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow that is great Mandy!!!!!!!! I just dream of the day. I have just a quick question for you though. I noticed your tattoos (beautiful). The thing is that I have some too and have been really worried that if I lose alot of weight it will change them. Have you noticed any real difference with them. Any advice given would be appreciated. Again CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jladybird, my tattoos have not changed at all. I have them on my back, arms, legs and feet and they all look fine. Even the one on my chest is still looking good, my boobs are shrinking but so it the tattoo. Yours will be fine also. Just make sure that if you decide to have plastic surgery later on you find a tattoo friendly surgeon. ~Mandy

Tink, I just wanted to update this thread and give you a heads up. We are going back to Disney and when I made the ADR's, they reassured me that if I could show a card explaining my surgery I could eat at the kids price. So Chef Mickey's will only cost me $13 instead of $27 I am taking my card and we are eating at several character buffets and all of them should allow me to eat at the kids price. I also plan on sharing my counter service meals with my daughter. Hope this helps. ~Mandy

Wow. There is a big difference in your stomach area! And I know what you mean about DL. We go every year (we also went on our honeymoon) and every year I have been fatter and more and more worried about fitting on rides. Plus my feet are in AGONY by the end of the day. That is one NSV I am looking forward too. NO foot agony and having a better time.:dance: :dance:

      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!
