Hi all' date='

This is my 3month pic next to a picture I took a couple of weeks after I decided to get the surgery in Jan/Feb. I am down 76lbs total since then, 46 of that was post op at my 3 month appt last week. It's has been a roller coaster but I am still glad I did it! Thanks for being my friends here. You have been my rock!

I am just 11 lbs away from loosing my first 100lbs! My mind cannot even process it! I can't remember if I posted this side by side or not but it tells the whole story! Me at my heaviest and then just last weekend. For the first time in a long time I am excited about my future! Really really excited! Oh and a friend put it together for me so the text on the side is his encouraging words.

I honestly still can't see any difference. In down nearly 80lbs now since surgery. The dark hair is before surgery and the blond hair was yesterday.

What do y'all think? Please be honest...saying I look the same WON'T hurt my feelings.

I can tell a difference. It's a bad angle for us to answer that question tho!!! Doesn't show much!

Thanks RJ!! Hubby and I have a romantic weekend planned for the end of the month. Hopefully I will Celebrate my first 100 pounds lost and our 19 year wedding anniversary. You all will be the first to know when I make the 100!

I also want to say that it is friends like you that I have met on RNY Talk that have made this journey much easier! THANKS!!

Well today was my 3 month follow-up. I'm not doing as well as many/most of you. I am down 46lbs by their scale (48.4 by mine but who's counting?) so I missed the 50 - 60 lb goal so I'm bummed and beating myself up today. I can give a slew of excuses and I know I need to get to exercising more, and drink more fluids.

Dr was not discouraged tried to tell me I've lost 42% of my anticipated loss but I'm still wallowing in self-pity. I feel good, my blood pressure is down, I've thrown out my first pair of fat pants so it's stupid I am crying about 4 lbs but I'm so upset about it. New goal is 30 -40 lbs in the next 90 days.

Thanks for the long whiny post.

OK, momma doe, time for a pep talk. There are MANY ways to measure success. The scale is only one of them. YOU HAVE LOST 48 pounds in three months - nearly half your expected loss! That's incredible!! When in your life have you done that before? You are wearing smaller clothes (and doesn't that feel better than the number on the scale)! I would bet that if you had measurements taken before surgery it would show a number of inches gone - and we don't beat ourselves up because our waist size is not dropping fast enough.

Goals are great. We all make them, and it is good to have something to strive for. But getting too wrapped up in the number on the scale will just drive you nuts. You have accomplished SO MUCH!! Remember to focus on the whole you - not just one number, on one day, on one device. You are so much more than that!!

      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!
