So Im 30lbs away from goal and Im very happy that the scale is cooperating. But Im already thinking about setting a new one. I was hoping I would look a lot leaner at 200lb for a guy but I still look like a slimmer version of the old me. I was talking to some hardcore guys at the gym who said I would be able to see recognizable changes at 180-175 so im thinking of setting that as new goal, but I want to Celebrate reaching my original goal first so focused on that last 30 for this New Year. I should be one hot cookie by summerlaugh.png

Hello and congrats on your progress!

Setting a goal also depends on your height. How tall are you?

Congratulations for hitting goal! This process is fascinating to me. It's like peeling off layers to see what's really beneath. I've been fat for so long that I don't know what I really look like under all this blubber. Good luck on your next goal!

I think a lot can be said for the final 20-30 Lbs. It wasn't until I lost it that I really felt satisfied by what I see in the mirror. My final few didn't hapen until my contouring either, so I have no idea if I would even be satisfied today had I not done the Plastics. I'm thinking I wouldn't. But that's just me.

It's interesting to hear you mention this about revamping your final goal. I am 32# away from the final goal i set for myself in the beginning. I'm 5'4" and thought I would set it for 135. We will see how things go, but I'm starting to wonder if maybe I might shoot for 125. I'm not trying to be vain about the weight loss, but I have so darn much loose skin and part of me thinks that if I am going to have plastics down the road, it would be better more likely for the surgeon to be able to have the skin be more taunt afterwards. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
