looking at how far you have to go is a def downer --so dont do it

( i think that way sometimes)

focus on your sucess here and now

coming into this weight loss world, we all knew it wasnt going to gone in 2 weeks

you lost 75 so far. i think that is a huge success

my advice is this, remember where you came from (weight wise when you started)

to me, that says excellent job so far and absolutely not a reason to think its not good enough

that is negative thinking and i wont allow you to think that way :)

just because you (have a way to go before you at goal) should not make you depressed now

that is just a waste of your time and energy and you deserve to treat yourself better

you my dear are inspiring me to keep going.

I want to backup my good friend CG, she's right as always.

As long as that scale is going down is all that matters!

I was feeling the same way, but started thinking I didn't gain it all in one day and I am not going to lose it all in one day. Stay encouraged, we will get through this!! CONGRATS ON THE 75LBS!

Go to the grocery store and pick up 8 - 10lb bags of sugar and walk around the place a bit (or walk around with a 9yr old boy on your back for the day.)..............bet you would have a hard time..............puts it into perspective a bit, you have done an awesome job. Keep up the good work.

Set small goals. My current goal is to get to 199. As soon as I reach that it will switch to a BMI that is no longer obese. I 'only' had 100 lbs to lose, but if that were my goal it would seem insurmountable. I am now within 8 pounds of goal #1, then only 26 lbs to the next goal, after that I'll start to focus on my final goal. You are doing absolutely fantastic! Keep up the great work!

I'm sorry you're feeling down. Your weight loss so far is an amazing achievement!!! When I used to think about how much I had to loose I'd get so down about it. I'm not looking at the huge amount, I am working with small goals (10 kilos at a time) once that 10 kilos is out the way I concentrate on the next 10 kilos.

Hope your feeling better by now and keep up the great work!

We all have discouraging moments. That's normal. Just keep in mind that you are 75lbs better today than not doing anything at all! It'll keep coming off and you'll be so happy! Keep posting and know that we're all cheering you on!

      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!
