That is awesome!!! Is that the first time you have stepped on the scale since your surgery? I have heard that when you come home from hospital that your weight goes up from all the fluids you get in the hospital??!?!

You are rockin!!!

Hey that's 16 lbs you'll never see again. And nothing to cough at. Be proud of yourself. Remember you was pumped full of liquid and gas for surgery. That doesn't leave your body right away. When your body starts to eliminate them you'll lose. Just remember to get up and get walking. Also don't compare your loss to others. Everyone is different and loses different. Stalls will happen but when they do don't focus on the lack of weight loss. Instead pay attention to your clothes and measurement. Your body sometimes needs time to adjust to your loss and often you lose inches instead of pounds. Which we also want!

      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!
