It is so weird how our brains work. You look so good and are definitely NOT fat if that helps at all. Keep up the good work! ;)

It does but it so weird I have never felt like this

Well....you are definitely skinnier than me! LOL

But I find that I see everyone's pictures and see that they look great...and I think that everyone looks thinner than me...even when I look at their posted size or weight and I am smaller? Its strange!

Thanks. I am down to a size 11/12 from a 18/20. I was able to buy medium sized shirts the other day. It felt amazing to not get depressed shopping and be able to fit into clothes from Charlotte Russe!!!

I think it's a bit of a body image issue. I have my own issues when I know I don't quite look like the same person to others . Only time I can really tell I look much different is in side by side pics. That's what keeps me going. There are some issues tho in the work that might derail me soon so I'm trying to be grateful for how far I've come as I may go no further. I think u look amazing! Not only that u look amazing for a mom of 7 kids!!!! That just blows my mind! No way no how!!! I understand how it feels but trust me u look beautiful girl!!!

      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!
