Getting admiring glances and remarks from husband when I get ready for work each day.

Compliments like "your shrinking" from the gals at work.

Wearing a dress because it is the latest fashion trend.

Fitting into to clothes I have not worn in ages.

Shopping

Being able to like myself again, what went on in my head when I was fat was worse than anything.

Maybe the BMI is a scale victory but I have plenty of NSV's... loving myself in photo's again, towels that fit, all the clothes in my closet that are falling off and the belt that I'm wearing today needs a hole added because its too big!! :) I love my band!!

I almost forgot. I had a Bracelet I couldn't wear anymore, my mom got it from Germany. It fits now!!! Yay! That was an awesome feeling.

I think this is the best one yet: I'm no longer the LAST to be ready when we are getting ready for any particular outing because I don't have to try on 50 different combination to end up wearing the same pants I did the day before. And that's considering I STILL haven't gone clothes shopping, so all I have is the big stuff I've been wearing, the ones I've had a chance to take in, AND THE ONES THAT DIDNT FIT YET!!!!

Today I waited for hubby outside and asked him if he was ready about 5 times. :P

I have only lost 35 pounds in 4 months. However, I went from a size XL in belts to a size medium. I went from a size 16 in pants to size 10. I went from an XL shirt to L, but that's only because I have a small belly and big you know what.... Lol. Loving it!

      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!
