I am 7 pounds from ONEderland.

I am at the beach and wearing a tankini and look GOOD!

I am doing great at getting my Water and protein!

I am only 37 pounds from my goal.

I put on a size 12 pair of shorts yesterday.

I got hit on by an attractive stranger last night.

and people think my scars are freckles!!

This was the best decision I have ever made. I have spent all morning sobbing out of happiness. I never thought this would work out. I still doubted myself, but for the first time in my life I don't feel like food controls me. I am more confident. I feel beautiful. I am so happy!!!

Way to go...rock that tankini (and I say splurge on a bikini to treat yourself to ONEderland, you will look great in that, too)

      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!
