I'm down just 21 pounds & already people are noticing. Just the other day my FIL asked me how much I've lost and after I told him he said "you can definitely tell it!" He never comments on things like this.

Then yesterday at my Dad's house, my step-mom asked me the same question & said the same thing my FIL said! I still can't really tell I've lost 21 pounds. I guess it's because I still see me as 201 pounds.

Congratulations! It really feels great when people start noticing the difference, and it encourages you to keep on keeping on!

Yes, it feels great to have someone besides my dh notice. Sunday at church, a lady asked me what I was doing to lose weight. I pulled her to the side and told her I had surgery. (We only told our preacher & one other church member that I was having surgery).

After we got home, my dh asked me if I believe him now...he's been saying that there is a definite noticable difference, I just can't see it myself.

Bearded keeps telling me that he can tell, too; however I still don't see it -- others at work have commented as well. I'll be happy when I can actually start to see it as well as others.

Congrats again Jenn.

Yes, my clothes are fitting a little more loose. They aren't too big yet, but they are definitely getting looser. :thumbup1:

I'm in the same boat as you Jenn -- my clothes are looser and fit differently; however with the exception of my capri jeans, they aren't too big yet, just loose.

Shoot, I haven't been shopping for new clothes yet, except in my closet! I am wearing clothes that people bought me for Christmas in years past that were too small before and now fit. But, I am about out of clothes now, and will have to do some shopping soon as my clothes are literally starting to hang off of me now.

That's where I'll be shopping for a while too Susan - except for some jeans - I don't seem to have them in an array of sizes ... everything else - yes - so it will be a while before I go to an actual store to buy new things.

Ross's Dress for Less comes in handy when you find you need something right now. I am waiting for big purchases too but when I went from size 18 tio 12, I had to get some new jeans. Tops havent been an issue just yet.

      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!
