HI everyone!!! Sorry for the tremendous radio silence on my end. For some reason notifications stopped coming into my email so I've been missing out. Just a quick update:

1) still have some food that bothers me, but mostly I'm ok and trying lots of new things

2) I drink ginger ale and Water like it's going out of style; doc said ok to the ginger ale as long as I do it slow and not iced cold

3) tmrw will be 11 weeks post op and I'm ~ 30#s down.

4) just sharing a before and after. The before was from a week or so pre surgery and the post is from today.

RMSpencer,

You look great! How do you feel about the change? Do many people comment on your loss? I love those shoes!

@@Peekboo I sometimes feel like I can see or feel a difference and then other times when I'm feeling less positive. Some people notice and others don't, or at least don't say anything.

I have basically the same feelings. I have only had 2 people at work say something about my loss and they know I had the surgery so they may be trying to be nice. In a way its good because im not getting a lot of questions. Im just happy not to be in the 200 range anymore.

It seems crazy to me that you've lost over 35lbs and no one's said anything! I have the same reaction because I'm over 30lbs down and it's kind of like... I've lost 30 POUNDS people!! Can't you tell?? hahaha

I know. It makes wonder if it's really noticeable yet. But I really see a big difference in your pictures. I will look and see what I can find to post a before and after. I never did much pic taking though :-)

You have done awesome. Was all fifty lost after surgery? How many calories ate you having each day?

45 pounds were from the surgery :)

      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!
