Setting New Goal



Recommended Posts

OK... so I have been on here for a year with a goal of 175 lbs. I made that goal last month, but ever since I have been fluctuating up as much as 4-5 pounds. So... as of today I have reset my goal to 165 pounds and recommitted. I will henceforth stop standing on my high horse and get back to work! 165 or bust!!!

Best wishes on recommitting yourself! I'm pre-op (Oct 15). Hope to see you around here a lot. I might have some questions.

I'm with you! It's been 3 yrs for me and I've been stuck at around 150 for the last year (was down to 144 last Dec, but I had a slip and gained). 150 was my dr's original goal for me, but when I got there, I realized I still felt/looked fat (ok, maybe chubby) so I made it 135. Have never in my adult life been 135!

But I promise, I will get there! The last 20 are the hardest to lose, for sure! I used to laugh at friends who had just 20 lbs to lose and think "whats the big deal?" Now I know! Good luck to you!

I am tall... So not having been under 200 since i dont know when... I wasnt sure what number to pick.

My original goal was 160. I will be there in 9 lbs. but I have decided to lose 19 instead because I think I can. My husband disagrees with me. Says i will look too gaunt. The dr said it won't hurt. I say... I will get down the next nine and decide when I arrive.

Congrats on your decision!

      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!
