Mary!! You are beautiful. REALLY!! I can definately see a BIG difference in your body size. Great job!!!! 80 lbs. is A LOT!! I think that there a few things you need to keep in mind.

1) We have completely different shapes. My sister is built just like you & she always complains that she is wearing an intertube around her middle. (So funny you said "tube".) She refers to herself as an apple shape & I am a pear shape. You have smaller arms & legs then I do. However, I gaurantee my behind & chest are bigger then yours. Because I still have the hourglass shape, I can get away with looking like I lost more weight. Instead of my measurements being 36/26/36 they are probably 45/35/45. (I have no idea, just guessing!)

2) I always take a good front picture. Had I posted a side picture, you'd see that I'm not as thin as I look. (SERIOUS!!) If I can find one a side picture, I'll post it here. I'm not sure how many of them I took! HA!

3) We are all so different that it truly is hard to compare to anyone. I guess the exercise has really played a big role in everything. (As you mentioned!) I think it may have helped to really tone everything. I personally think that had I not exercised, I probably would have lost more weight. Instead, I lost lots of inches & gained muscle which I will gladly take!!

You really do like fabulous Mary. I think we are all the hardest on ourselves then anyone else.

      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.

        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!
