Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so happy I cannot even tell you. To be honest the weight loss has been quite effortless-- I do work as a nurse and get physical activity that way-- and walk at the mall a few days a week-- thats it. Also I feel like my higher calorie point has helped me a lot too. I eat 1200-1600 cals a day and I have since 2.5 months. I have NO LOOSE SKIN... a few wrinkles on my stomach. I am very lucky!! The higher cals have helped me keep my metabolism up i think. I eat a lot of Chipotle burrito bowls with steak and black Beans. They last 4-6 meals. :-)

Yes, you look fantastic! I'm a nurse too. Hope I don't get all the loose skin either. Do you think the higher calories helped with the skin issue?

Also, I love Chipotle and will keep them in mind when I can eat real food again. Thanks.

      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!
