Ok so Im at the gym today-This pertains to my weight



Recommended Posts

So Im at the gym, earphones in, doing my own thing, I see the trainers office door open. So I go in there and ask her to use her scale. She's busy at her computer. "Sure go ahead"..I say 'Thanks'. It's one of those digital jobbies, so I tap it, wait for the 00.0 to show up on the little screen. I step on it. It reads: 113.6 lbs. That's NOT right. So I get off it, wait, tap it with my foot again, again 113.6..So I tap Karlie ( the trainer) on the shoulder and tell her, her scales broke. OH NO she says, so she picks it up and shakes it. So again I step on it and it reads 116.8..She tells me digital scales will sometimes keep memory of the previous stepper on'er. Ok sounds reasonable to me.

Honest to goodness, she looks at me and says, " Did 113 bother you?, I thought you'd be glad"...Here's my response to that, " Are you kidding, I don't wanna be 113 lbs, that's to far down the scale for me darling"..She says " your 116.8, 3 lb different isn't that much. I preceded to tell her that in the WLS world, YES IT IS!!!..3 lb's up, 3 lb's down is a WORLD of difference, in my world...lolololol..I walked out of there feeling ok that HER BROKE scale added just a pound to my ACTUAL 115 lb scale at home, BUT 3 lbs, down..NOOOoooo..funny how this life is sooooo different from my previous life..lololol..Good times!!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
