I typically do not toot the horn but today I received 2 very nice compliments.

1. A lady that I work with that I dont interact with on a regular basis stopped me in the hall to say that she had to do a double take because of how much weight Ive lost. She almost didnt recognize me. That was pretty cool.

2. The other was the woman that works at a gas station I frequent said "OMG youve lost a TON of weight". I told her it was 62 pounds and still going strong. She high fived me and told me "you go girl". She said it was a dramatic difference in my face. I took everything she said as a compliment but had she said it at the wrong time of the month if you get my drift, I might have gotten offended lol.

Ive had other minor VSGs but 2 on a payday Friday? Woot woot!!

Ill post pictures soon but part of me is still afraid of the camera :) Have a great weekend everyone.

That's great!! A coworker told me that I looked like I was losing weight. Even though I AM, I still don't see it because I'm still quite heavy. But she said she could really notice it in the face. Then she patted her own double chin and said, "But maybe I only notice it so much because I'm jealous". She's a friend, and it felt good to actually have someone NOTICE! Can't wait til I lose even more so EVERYONE notices! Myself included! :)

Sometimes Ill walk by my husband and catch him staring and Im like "what? is my zipper open?" and he'll say that he can REALLY notice that Ive lost weight. Plus he likes that Ive been wearing more form fitting clothes. He's sweet like that :)

      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.

        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!
