You look great! Really, congrats on a job very well done!

As of today I am BMI in the 25% range, but I still think I'm fat. I just keep seeing my awful flabby tummy and the fat that hangs off my saddlebags. Hard to change our self perceptions. Will take much longer than losing the weight.

Thank you . Congrats to you as well . I think it's my stomach that bothers me . Working out , losing all this weight to have a flabby stomach . I'm looking into a Tummy Tuck but I have to be at least a year out my nutritionist days . Looking at pictures helps , and gives me motivation to see my before and after so far .

Wow, you really wear your weight well. You looked nowhere near 380 and still look nowhere near 240. You look great! Good job! I hope to follow your footsteps! Any tips?

I had the opposite problem..I did not think I was that overnight before surgery..but I saw pic of myself prior to surgery ..I was bigger than what my eyes saw. Trace your body on blocking paper ..then u. Can see how others see u through their eyes. Too bad u had not done this prior to surgery. Then u would have been amazed. U look great. We can surely see a big difference. Congrats. Yes and have that Tummy Tuck in the future if need be.

Thank you ! I am 5'11 , my height has always helped me that no one could guess I weighed that much . My recommendation is to follow everything the surgeon tells you ! I'm very strict with my diet , I exercise at least 4 days a week , and I don't cheat often , and if I do it's still something somewhat healthy . I still haven't tried beer , bread , or anything fried because I knew I needed a lifestyle change . I follow a lot of healthy clean eating people on Instagram if you like to learn new recipes . You can message me f you like I'll send them to you ! Good luck to you , we are all on this journey together!

Thank you :) . I didn't think about doing that . I can see the difference after looking at pictures , but I know I'm not the only one feeling like that .

You look amazing and yes I too still feel like I'm the same fat girl. I'm only down 40 but I look transformed. I did a double take at my reflection today.

      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!
