Yaay me! Lol Rode my bike 2 miles AFTER pushing it down the hill and then UP the hill. Folks, this ain't just ANY hill. Straight up ! My driveway is a long straight up drive to the top of a hill! It scares everyone who has to drive it the first time. All I could think of the whole time was " da da da da daa da. Da da da da daaa da...". Think Dorothy. Lol

Thanks NannieG. I'm 5'3", so I'm a shortie... LOL I haven't seen my surgeon since a few days after surgery- he's in TX, I'm in MO. I've worked w/my PCP during the past year and he set the goal of 120# for me w/the reasoning that it would give me 5# of wiggle room. He has seen me struggle for years on the weight thing and so I am going for it. I haven't been 120# since probably junior high... 140's probably early high school. By the time I graduated h.s., I was probably knocking on 200#...

Etiher that or buy a pair of suspenders. I'm so gonna kill this challenge. I have so much more energy now it's so hard to believe.

      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!
