Yes I do <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> sometimes we don't see a difference cuz we are used to being fat. Then when others notice we suddenly start to notice different areas. I lost 53 pounds & I notice good things but in my mind I'm still fat so I see my self fat.

Ur rite cause I feel fat sometimes I feel if I have gained weight for some reason is weird I think my mind play with me

Only 25 pounds in five weeks?? When was the last time that you lost 25 pounds in five weeks pre-op? You're doing fantastic!! Congratulations!! "Body image" is almost entirely in the brain which is a fancy way of saying that you see what your brain expects to see. Even though we all can see a dramatic difference in your photos, your brain is lagging behind. Crazy as it sounds, it's quite common to hear folks comment that they can't see the change in themselves even though everyone else does. Be patient - your brain will catch up and you're gonna love the new you!!

      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!
