Someone made my day!



Recommended Posts

I don't really usually like attention from people but I have felt kind of sad about nobody commenting on my weightloss. Tonight a lady I don't see often said to me "you've lost weight" and I said "a little" and she looked me up and down and said "no, not just a little, you look great". Boy did it make my day! I was in the early part of my last breaktime walk and I added 4 or 5 flights of stairs, up & down, in the middle. Plus I was wearing a clingy sweater that I thought made me look fat AND a coat!

My husband and my best friend tell me all the time but no one else ever mentions it, until tonight. I've lost 2 sizes and over 50 lbs so it should be at least a little noticeable.

I think people understand that weight is a sensitive issue and they are hessitant to mention it unless it is overwhelmingly obvious. People did not mention it until i had lost well over 50 pounds but all of the sudden (around 70 pounds) it is so obvious that everyone mentions it. good job

Thank you both. I've been stalled for a month so someone noticing came at a good time.

Yesterday i went in to see a patient who had not been in the office for a few years. His face said it all-- who the hell are you?

when i told him i was still me he hessitantly asked, are you sure? he was looking hard trying to see any semblance of the doc he had seen before.

pretty cool

I think it takes about 50 pounds for most people to start noticing or commenting.

Great job on your weight loss! People sometimes notice and just dont know what to say. Stay focused you can do this. :-)

      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!
