Hello Fall! Does anyone have any goals, NSV's especially for fall?



Recommended Posts

@ Stay strong!!! I know it's not easy, but the pay off is worth it!! I did a month of Clear Liquids all together. Before surgery was much harder than the two weeks after but I survived and so will you!

I'm rebuying the Hunter rain boots my husband bought me for Christmas. I had to return them because they didn't fit around my stupid calves!

These are great - My surgery is now 17 months past, and I've plateaued the past 5 months, sadly. I did maintain though, and now am beginning to lose again (yes!) so my fall NSV is having the pleasure of donating sweaters that are too big, even though I thought they would still fit. Guess I'm smaller than I thought - hooray :D

My other NSV is the pleasure of being back on track - such a good feeling!

Fall NSV's

(1) Hunting for a great Halloween costume to wear to a dinner party.

(2) My Second Turkey Day 5K since surgery. This has become my new thanksgiving holiday tradition.

(3)My first fall at this size. Its my excuse to get a new fall/winter wardrobe.

I was looking forward to going to football games, wearing smaller team jackets, but dang it I'm getting really judgmental about sitting next to fat people. NOTE: Just because I lost 90 pounds doesn't mean you get to ooze into my space. I need to bring some WLS info for the people on my season ticket row. They seem to average 350 pounds each...and that's just the women and the guys are worse.

Like inner surfer girl, it won't be this year. I'm two months post op next week.

I am training to run my first 5k November 21st. During this process, I hope to fit into old clothes in my closet, and donate the rest.

I have already felt more energetic than ever and have been looking to do fun things with my husband and 3 year old. This weekend we are going pumpkin picking and lots of fun things at the farm for him and his friends. I used to not want to participate in things because I was embarrassed by my size, my inability to keep up and I used to eat enough to be in food coma.

Bring on fall and really excited by next years prospects. Once I reach goal, I want to visit a southern state and get me a pair of cowboy boots!!!

      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!
