My biggest challenge is getting myself prepared for my surgery... I am so excited knowing that I am so close to getting my surgery date, yet I am so nervous about it as well. Another challenge I have is wanting to eat everything up before I start my 2 week Optifast. Can anyone help?

My biggest challenge already is feeling like I am losing weight too slowly, I'm not doing it right, fear of having ugly loose skin, and feeling like this surgery is not going to work for me. Losing 22 lbs since surgery 4 weeks ago today is awesome, but I guess when we think about how hard it was (liquid only and little to no food) it makes you think this is crazy. I think I will feel differently once I meet a goal that I was never able to meet on my own. I just have to have patience with myself and start doing all the right things (time to workout in 2 weeks) to get my desired results. One day I will look up and see it, and be very happy with my choice. I'm going to do workout tapes like Shaun T and Billy (Taebo) as soon as I can. They should be able to help me see results faster too. Thanks for letting me share. I feel better now :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
