Probably Not Gonna Happen!



Recommended Posts

My bandiversary is in 11 days and I have 12 lbs to go till goal. At this point its probably physically impossible to lose a pound a day and make goal by then. :(

Oh well, still feel great. I can fit into most tens, but would like to have them a little more comfortable fit. What I really need to do is get back in the gym. Ive been so busy, but I need to make some time for it.

I will check in on the 14th and let you know if I made it :)

The last few lbs are the hardest.

You are dealing with things other than fat, such as the amount of muscle mass you may have, and perhaps excess skin.

If you go by BMI's alone, I'm still 20lbs overweight, yet when I get on a Body Fat% scale, I'm less than 15% which puts me above normal in the "Fit" range.

So everything is relative at that point.

Im not beating myself up to bad. Im not being that diligent and so I am pleasently surprised with any loss that I have. ;) You know how you have it in your head when your are near your year mark that you would be a goal. Like that day is the magical day to be done.

B52, you are a lean mean fighting machine!! I wish I had your diligence in the gym...

      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.

      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!
