I had to share this with you guys. This morning, I finally (!) hit eighty pounds down!! And, I decided to Google search for things that weigh 80 pounds. Guess what I found?? Snooki from Jersey Shore!! (Apparently she weighted 80 lbs at one point.)

Can you just imagine me having to carry her around?! Good riddance!! LOL!!!:frown:

That's funny and great news!! I realized the other day that I've lost a little over how much my daughter weighs, which is 43 lbs. I can't even carry her for a few minutes without feeling like she's killing me. So to then realize that's how much I was truly carrying on myself was a HUGE eye opener.

What a great idea to look it up online. No wonder the more weight you loose, the more energy you have. Keep up the good work!

Way funny, Catherine. Whether it be 80lbs of fat or 80lbs of Snookie...both would be VERY annoying to carry around.

I lost over half of me but I ended up finding the best part of me! The 130lbs of me that I lost was a miserable, tired and achey old woman.

Way to go, Catherine! You look amazing and, I'm sure are an inspiration to many.

From the time I started exercisiing 10/2008 to now (banded 8/10) I have lost 100 lb. At my old job I had to walk up basically 3 flights of stairs (carrying my computer) to get to my desk every morning. It would take me a couple minutes to catch my breath. Most people would have trouble carrying a hundred pound person and a briefcase (purse, laptop, lunch) up 3 flights of stairs!

I texted a close friend to let her know and she texted back that i'd lost the equivalent of her 12 year old daughter!

Congrats!

      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!
