So I have always said I was 5'4 ..."on a good day" but I decided I really wanted to know exactly how I am am...or am NOT! Lol

So I had my partner measure me......I'm 5'2 3/4..... not even 5'3...

Lol guess my BMI is a tad higher than I thought....anyone else not sure exactly how tall they are ??

I've lost an inch...

Better an inch off there than...

It's just better to come off my height...

For some odd reason, I told people I was 5' 1". I'm not. I'm exactly five feet tall (or short) as the case may be. :) I know this little lie had something to do with my weight...like an extra inch would make a difference with all the excess poundage I was carrying. But..hey, we all do what we must in order to avoid what we don't want to face.

Isn't it funny how we know our weight down the a tenth of a pound but sometimes not as sure of our height..... I'm still in shock over my "little" revelation! Lol

Gravity wins every time. If you want it back, do an inversion board in the morning and get your height checked then. It will give you that extra 1/2". But wait a minute ladies, I thought you all said size doesn't matter? ;-)

I was always 5'2 1/2" but having all those kids took their toll on me, I'm 5'1 1/2 everytime they measure me now.

      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!
