Challenge: 20 pounds in 26 weeks?



Recommended Posts

174 this morning. HOWEVER, I'm working out doing Aqua aerobics, I'm hoping that's muscle and I'll soon see some weight loss. I know I'm seeing inch loss already!

I weighed today and it was like 355..

WHO knows with that YMCA scale.. but it seems I am just gaining.

But I got a fill and I plan on losing once again!!!

As of 2/6/06 I am still at 197.5. I suppose the real miracle was that I didn't gain -- a new Coldstone Creamery opened in my neighborhood recently.

I am not going to mope around about how slow my weight loss has become. Lots of people here have medical reasons -- including good old slow metabolism -- why they lose very slowly. For me, alas, neither the band nor my endocrine system is the problem -- my sweet tooth is. And my recent slavery to it. Well, Megan's bumped "attitude" post inspired me to kick myself in the butt. Both the dog and I are ready to get our waists back! So now that I can walk pretty much like a normal person again, I am recommitting to exercise. Three miles to the park and back, four times a week, fast enough to break into a sweat (for at least a while). Hey, I can lose four pounds in four weeks, I think! See you again March 6 for our monthly check-in.

      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!
