My name is kevin.

I've had my surgery nov 28th of last yr. I've currently lost 190 lbs. I had a very weird experience yesterday, I went on my first date in 14 yrs. this was my problem it's been so long that I still felt like that big guy I had been all that time. It didn't help that we didn't connect! I just felt strange. Has anyone had these feelings or experience? I had one girl who wouldnt date me if I was going to lose weight faster than her? WTF!!! This girl was a twig! Any way!

Thanks for having me!

Hey Kevin, first off welcome to the board!

I'm not that long post op but already have had similar experiences in all aspects of my life. For example simply going shopping I feel like I need to go to the plus sizes (which is not the case anymore) but I have a hard time seeing myself as a "normal size" person. I am still adjusting to my new body size. I actually find it quite awkward when people comment on my weight loss at times. It's like wow is that the only thing anyone notices lol. I do love the newly found confidence that I have these days... Definitely an added bonus. I think it just takes time to adjust mentally not being that overweight person anymore.

Lol at the twig girl that didn't want you to lose faster..some people are just funny!

      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!
