I went to my check up today and I've lost 42lbs. My starting weight was 242 and I'm down to 200lbs. My biggest problem is buy some new clothes. I hate to spend the money, because I'm dropping so fast.

I hated buying cloths too. But I did buy my first pair of Levi's at 2 months just because. Now they are way too big and I was spending a lot of time pulling them up. LOL Still am leary to buy new cloths because I need to loose 25 lbs. ;)

I hear you sister! I'm at my 7wk post-op point. I've lost 39lbs (well it is actually 41 on my home scale, but I'm officially going by my gym scale). I've got the clothes issue also. I just hate to spend $ on clothing if I'm only going to wear it for a month or less - as I expect to continue to drop sizes. But, I'm actually thrilled to have the problem. Let Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Old Navy be your friends!

Keep up the good work -You loser!!!!!! You can call me a loser any time!

You go girl! I think I'm 8 weeks out and down 42lbs as well. I have lots of clothes to shrink back into so hopefully I can avoid shopping for a while. I think I'm good through size 14 although I may need some tops. My body is so different now because I've had a baby so things fit very different than they did on the way up. I'm thicker in the area between my hips and bellybutton line.

      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!
