juliah, I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! :-) I hope you get your teaching job! Please keep us posted on how that goes.

Dais, I agree with mp... I think you might be ready for some circuit training. That really does work it out! I'm personally still trying to get back to my pre-surgery form. I'm pulling in an hour a day but only about 3-4 days per week. I'd like to get it back up to 6 days per week.

Myself, I'm a little bummed the weekend is already over. My family has made their way back home to LA and the house is quiet yet again. I gained a half pound this weekend!!! :blink: Whoopss!!! It could just be the normal ups and downs of the scale. I don't usually check myself on the weekend, so I'm not sure. Either way, it won't hurt to make sure I'm back on track 100%!!! Okay, it's back to life. Actually as of today - but since I'm back at work tomorrow I can really make sure I'm having a perfect day.

I just don't know how much damage I can do only being able to eat a few bites of this or that. However, my body is not used to eating a whole lot of carbs, which regrettably I did eat for Thanksgiving. Not even a smidge as much as I would have before, but still... I did eat them. Aaannyyway, I just need to own it and GET RIGHT!!!!

I bought some Levi's in size 8. Yes, my goal pants. They were on sale for half off at Kohls so how could I resist. They are totally adorable... AND SO TINY!!! I'm in 18's fully now and most 16's. I even fit a pair of 14's but I think those are a fluke... lol - but still!! Being that I started in 28's, it's safe to say I'm halfway there. Whooot!!! :)

Globetrotter you should get your thyroids tested, if your thyroids aren't working as they should that could slow down your weight loss big time :(

I had my thyroid tested 2 years ago and they said I was on the high side of normal, that yes someday it might turn into Hashimotos. They cannot do thyroid testing out here, I believe, but I will check again.

As for how I'm doing today, that's easy: if the scale shows a loss, then it's a good day. If it doesn't, then it isn't. Today it didn't.

      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!
