So excited. Got on the scale this morning and it read 199.5. Haven't seen that in 20 years. I thought I got there two weeks ago but I had just gotten a new scale and wanted to wait till I saw the doctor to confirm before I got too excited. I weighed myself before I went and it said 196. Get to the doctors and it was 202.6. It was a cheap scale so I wasn't to disappointed. Was still 6lb less than my last visit. So I went out and got a better scale and it gave me the same weight I had at the doctors. Got on today and lost 3 lbs since Thursday. Down 27lbs since my surgery on 12/29.

thanks everyone. I am super excited. In the past whenever I reached a goal or just done something I wanted to Celebrate my go to was food. Even weight loss goals. Lost 10lbs time to Celebrate with a hot fudge sundae. Bought a new pair of shoes instead. I might get addicted to this new reward system lol

It's official: straight from the doctor's scale -- 195. It's been at least 20 years since I weighed less than 200. While I hoped I'd make it to to "Onederland" I did not expect it. I've been satisfied with just being able to shop at normal stores and "fit" in the world again and have really specifically not focused on the weight number since doing so in the past was more discouraging than helpful.

I am actually only 10 pounds away from reaching my goal -- which again I set at the time as just a dream. I based it on my estimate of what my clothing size would be not any "charts." If I get there it'll will be a huge wow moment. But so was today. Not just meeting but exceeding expectations and doing so in a lifestyle way that I believe I can maintain.

What a miracle.

Best wishes to everyone to reach and enjoy your miracles too.

      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!
