Weight 153 pounds there is no need to lie about my weight. I ran into a friend who weights (I think she said) 139 she then said really your 153? I said yes. She said how? I'm smaller then you but not in weight in size. I said I'm shorter then you. She's 5'4 and I'm 5 foot. is it possible for two people to weight the size but look totally different? Now I feel my goal weight should be less if I'm going to look fat at 125. Idk I look good when I was 140 but that's less then 15 pounds away. I'm not looking slim. Slimmer yes but not slim.

I exercise & eat healthy. No greasy food no fried food and I eat under 800 calories which isn't good but can't fit much food for 3 months.

I think so.

Everyones body is different 2 people of the same weight and height can still have a different body type. Everyone carries their weight differently.

Don't judge your body by someone else's...your goal weight should be based on how you feel when you look in the mirror as long as its healthy.

Everyone is different. Some people are big boned and weigh more even though they look smaller. Never ever compare yourself to anyone else. We are all unique:-)

surgery date: 7/30/12

Oh, you'll go nuts if you go around comparing you to someone else. Everyone's structure is different. Bones weigh different, muscles add weight. No one ever beileved my weight because I was always heavier than I looked. (And believe me they were NOT being nice to me!) You have to go by what's right for you. Don't make it more difficult on yourself. ;)

Thanks everyone. As long as I feel good that what counts but maybevi shouldn't tell people my weight only the amount I lost. I hate feeling fat when I came so far.

      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.

        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!
