Once I hit goal I'm going to go get one of those "Bod Pod" tests too. I have no idea either where to find one. I guess a fitness club might know but since I don't belong to any I haven't thought about asking. I do plan to sign up for one and get a personal trainer once I get to within 25 lbs of goal, because I know I'll have to start working a lot harder to get there.

I will be interested to know my exact Body Fat %, so I'll then consider losing more or just maintaining.

I checked yesterday, and the bodyfat measurements at my school only include BMI, waist circumference, and calipers. I'm not sure why anyone would pay to have their waist and BMI measured when you can do it for free yourself/online, but I digress. Calipers aren't the best from what I know - they are good for tracking changes, but not so much for determining the correct number. I guess the Bod Pod thing is only available to research labs here, I couldn't find a way for someone to just walk in, pay, and get measured. Boo!

      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!
