Been awhile since I've updated! Shoot, been awhile since I was on this board at all! I tend to spend so much time at work and for some reason VST runs SUPER SLOW on my work computer :( So anyways, I weighed in this morning and I'm down to 157.2!! WOOHOO Over just 6lbs till Goal!! OMG I can't believe I am this close! A week and a half until my 10 month mark and I've lost 93.6lbs! I really can't believe it!

Had our neighbors over for a BBQ last night and we got to talking and it came up about my surgery which I'm totally cool with sharing and the wife was Totally into hearing all about it. Her and her husband are "large" people and have A LOT of health issues. I was very happy to share my story/journey with them! Sat and looked at photos because they have only known me now! They were both speechless! LOL The husband was talking to me about how he doesn't picture himself a 300lb+ man until he sees himself in a picture and then he's like WTF! I remember that so well from before surgery. I totally didn't think that I was as big as I was! I swore I was comfortable even though I knew I had "put on a Little weight"! LOL But what is even craizier then that is I still feel this way but opposite! I feel Bigger then I am! LOL When I sit here I feel bigger and then I see a picture of myself and I'm like OMG Is that Me?? WOW!! LOL It's just all crazy head games I guess!

So here I am, near my goal weight and feeling FAN FREAKING TASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am running my 6th 5K this weekend (even though I have totally NOT been working out/training for it), I am wearing a size 10 pants kind of! LOL An 8 is still too small but a 10 is too big, I hate being inbetween sizes! LOL I'm in a Medium shirt/dress and LOVING that!!!

      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!
