5 weeks out and I am in amazment



Recommended Posts

So today I am 5 weeks out. I have lost 42 lbs. Had a week stall when TOM came to visit but all is well now.

Some of the NSV's I have encountered:

Going from a size 18 to a size 12 pants and XXL shirts to L. All of my clothes are way too big now except for the ones I held on to and thank goodness I did.

Not getting out of breath to do anything.... and I do mean anything. :D

My boyfriend putting his arms around my waist and being able to grab his elbows

with his hands...and commenting on it.

Ex-boyfriends seeing me and telling me how great I look. :P

I have a ton but I have saved the best for last........

And sex is so worth it now!!!!

Ok, ok. I know TMI .... but it is so true.lol

I hope everyone else is doing great as well!

Congrats! Can't wait to be there! What types of workouts are you doing to keep the weight/inches shredding?

I walk and ride my horses right now. Well for the last two weeks anyway. I haven't had much weight come off in the past two weeks either but I have lost many inches. Went from a size 16 to a 12 in a week. I really want to get in the gym and start working out but I work 2 jobs and it's hard for me to find time. I just keep walking about and hour a day and increase when I have a little more time to.

I get in between 500-700 calories a day. I am high on the carbs...at least higher than I'd like, but I am very active ;).LOL! I don't get all of my Protein but staying right around 50 grams. I may try to up the protein and lower the carbs because I have stalled only losing 2 lbs in the last two weeks. That's my goal anyway. Hard to get in everything while working so much.

      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!
