I see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Today i hit 154 pounds which puts me in the normal weight range for my hight (5'6")... i went over my doctor's weight goal for me

which was 160 pounds for my body frame (i have thick bones).

Only 9 pounds till i hit goal, but what if i go below 145 pounds? i am afraid am going to keep losing and look sick. I am almost 6 months out and by one year out i might be 130 pounds or less who knows :)

9 pounds sound so easy... hopefully i will get there by 7 months out!

Good luck everyone, and keep up the good work... This has both negatives and positives but as i was told yesterday, i should be very happy and grateful and not complain.

Thank god for everything he has given to me and helped me go through!

Your doing terrific! I'm 10 months out and about 10 lbs from goal. My body is content here. After a 3 month stall, it has finally started to move again. I have read where a few people have continued to lose after meeting their goal, and had to up their calories. I don't believe that I will be one of those people, cause my body likes the cushion...Good luck and God Bless!

I am so happy to see these posts. I will be 10 months out in a few days too and still have ??10-15 more pounds to lose. I have also been in a stall for 3 months and am kinda shocked by how much I can eat sometimes!!

I know it is not "too much" as I am not gaining weight but it seems to be just enough to maintain!

I feel very happy to be where I am at but a few more pounds would be nice! It is no longer falling off and I can see that I will really have to work on it to see these last pounds go!

I think I will step up the exercise and see how it goes!!!

Thanks for making me know that I am not alone!

Good luck hun, you can do it! 10 pounds are nothing compared where you were before! sometimes a stall is good a body needs time to adjust and tighten, i have been through a lot of these <3

No hun you are not alone! we are all on the same boat! You can do it and reach goal, just work hard towards it... I have been lucky to lose weight without exercising (cause m overseas and gyms here are not as good) all i do is walk, but i will be back home by next week and ill sign up for a gym forsure!

      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!
