I'm late posting but I did weigh in yesterday. My goal was 198 and I weighed in at 201.2. I didn't meet my goal..again. However, after stewing on it all day yesterday feeling disappointed in myself I realized I should be proud of myself. I took a long look at what I HAVE accomplished. I've lost 10 clothing sizes, I've lost nearly 97 pounds total and I did come so close and I did lose 7.8 pounds in 3 weeks..pretty good for being almost 11 months out. I looked up the word "goal" and found this definition: "the end toward which effort is directed". I did give it a good effort and will not give up. I've come a long way and had my struggles.. just to give up on myself would be a waste. I really enjoy the challenges, it makes me try harder. I'm so happy for those who made their goal..good job and to those who didn't, you met the goal to try :)

Unfortunately, I missed my goal by 2 pounds. Although I am maintaining a 40 weight loss, so I'll take it!!! I'll try for my next goal of 130 for Christmas, current weight 137....

      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!
