FINALLY! Somebody noticed



Recommended Posts

I have lost 49 pounds and only two people (one of them today!) who didn't know about my surgery have noticed. REALLY PEOPLE!?!?!

Congrats on the 49lbs! That is awesome!!!!

I found that it takes a while for the weight you lose to start showing up. It seems like a two week delay. I'm at 35 pound loss and people are just starting to comment. I also feel like its melting off from the head down. My face is thing but my butt is still bootylicious. Not in a great way. I have lost this much weight before but my body is responding totally different this time.

Isn't crazy I've been this weight before and people are like your half your size... Its only been 25lbs... :-\

I'm 3 weeks out..have lost so far 11 lbs..I noticed in my arms and face a lil..I know I'm not yet losing as fast as I want.. but God willing im heading towards my goal weight..180.. I'm happy everyone here decided to go along with surgery. .I don't feel so left out... what I think I will miss out on is my get togethers..margaritas! !.. does anyone drink alcohol after surgery? ?

If so how much can you drink? Does it burn?

Oh crap I didn't think about drugs...and being a person of color in a predominantly white workplace...scratch that I'm the only black person there so that automatically means that I've started taking the drugs I supposedly sell. God I hope no one notices. I can see a "random" drug test in my future!

LMAO!! OMG, do you plan to tell anyone then??? Lol

Someone said that to me at work a couple of nights ago. I have quite a way to go before I am half the size I was. People just don't know what to say.

Tomorrow I will be 3 weeks out and I am down 24lbs. No one has noticed yet. I tend to think the bigger the more weight loss is needed for people to really notice. I have lost 6" off my waist and I am really happy the weight is coming off. People will notice sometime. In the meanwhile I will just enjoy smiling on the scale instead of frowning.

I don't think it's that they don't notice. Some people are so jealous and grudge hearted they won't tell you. Just keep up the good work believe me people see it

      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!
