I wish my parents were still alive to see this (and for many other reasons, of course)... my Mom would be SO happy at my current state of being...

Other than that...I'm good... my hubby loved me when I was at my highest (actually about the time we met) and loves me now...I can almost fit into his clothes now....

I keep telling him "what's mine, is mine; what's yours, is mine" ... now I'll be into his clothes.... (hello, boyfriend jacket)

I look forward to the day when I can impress someone with my weight loss. Where I live now I have no friends or family other than my hubby and son. I don't work because I am a caregiver to my husband who is a cancer patient.

Soon we will be moving back home where I will have my sisters and friends and I cannot wait. I have not gone anywhere other than hospitals and doctors appointments in 2 years. GAH!?!?!?

Sorry to hear about your husband, Magtart; but glad you took time for YOU! I know the feeling, my hubby and I live in Savannah and most of my family is in Chicago... I miss them... I saw one sister a few months back and she almost didn't recognize me... except that I am beginning to look more and more like my Mom every day!!! LOL...(she was thin-er)

Sorry to here about your husband. My parents would be so happy to see me loosing weight they both worried about me , I have some cousins who have been hurtful over the years can't wait until the 2weekend in june for our family reunion. I went to see my Nuerologist for the first time this year and he didn't reconize me made me feel good.

My rheumatologist, who I have been seeing for 10 years walked straight past me, no flicker of recognition, lol.

Someone I worked with for 7 years but hadn't seen for 7 years looked blankly at me until I spoke.

My mother in law didn't recognise me until I stood in front of her in a store when I went to collect her.

I didn't tell many people in advance so didn't have to put up with negative comments. It's only happened a couple of times recently with a couple of friends telling me I shouldn't lose any more weight. Best reason for their "concern"? I might look too old. Lol!!!!!!! You couldn't make it up...

I want my kids and my family to see the weight going.... They're really a big encouragement.. The most negative was a guy that I'd been dating for about a year... But this isn't about or for him... So I let go and did what was best for me. And I'm LOVING IT

Good for you , no man is worth you feeling bad about your self. My husband fell in love with me when I was fat after two babys I gained and lost about sixty six lbs. He has been very supportive thru all this new way I have to eat, and he's loving the thinner me wants me to sit on his lap all the time now lol.

      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!
