Just an observation



Recommended Posts

I'm just spewing thoughts that come into my head since i'm still sitting at home recovering from my surgery on Wednesday May 4th....

I was thinking to myself after reading some of the posts in Introductions and Pre-Op questions......

ok, don't be hatin' when i say this, I just think it's interesting, but.....

My GOAL weight is the same as most people's START weight. :P

There, i said it. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's kinda funny to me. The thought that one day I *might* be able to weigh 250 pounds seems just some unattainable dream. I would LOVE to weigh 250 pounds.

anyone else here feeling that 'twoderville' is reeeeaaaaalllly far away?

I hear ya sister!

My original goal was 250#, anything after that is just "frosting on the cake"! Hope to see twoderville in June.

Getting to twoderville is HUGE for me because I never again will have to say I am over 300 lbs. And now 280s are a few lbs away. Its a wonderful feeling!

ok, i know this is off topic, but it's my topic and i just need to kvetch.

i know, in my head, that the first 4-6 weeks after surgery is all about healing and blah de blah, blah...but since my surgery date, my scale hasn't budged. not up, but not down either. it just sits there, staring me in the face, taunting me, laughing at me.

grumble.

i do know it's because i'm healing/ i am on real food and not liquids or mushies, but dang it..........it's making me nutso. like i said, my head knows that this is normal, but my heart longs to be down even 1 pound.

i just wanted to vent.......sooooo there, i vented.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
