@@moppet I did (and do) work out regularly, but early on I just started with walking and then super low-impact aerobics. Working out is great for your health and important in maintenance but remember that what is most critical is your diet. You know what they say -- and it's all true -- the battle to lose weight is won in the kitchen, not in the gym. Follow your eating plan religiously, track everything, and stay away from crappy, high carb, nutrition-free foods and you will do great.

I had to chime in because I'm so excited!

I started as a 20W; surgery day I was 18W. When I went shopping this weekend, I bought a size 8! Most of my things are 10, and the 8's are still a little tight, but *happy dance*! I'm buying single digits! It's unreal.

Yes. I started at a size 15 in jeans. I am now a size 4. I got real emotional in the fitting room. I stood there for about 20 minutes saying I can't believe that I am the size I was when I was in high school. It's a great feeling.

Started at a TIGHT 18w should probably have been a 20.

I said when I started I would be THRILLED to make single digit sizes.

I am now a 4!

Started at a 20W and after three months, I'm in a 14 misses. In tops, I went from a 2X to a L/XL. I hope to go down at least two more sizes by September but one size is probably more realistic.

Goodwill has received 8 huge bags of clothes from me and my closet is empty. I only buy things on sale now since I know I won't wear them for long

Started at a tight 22W, I'm a week shy of 6 months out and I'm in a comfortable 12-14 depending on brand and large tops. I would like to get down to a 10 but my weight loss has been super slow the last 2 months so it might be a while.

I was up to a 52x32 pant size.. right now at 36-40x32 and they vary on tightness/looseness.

i had went nuts shopping in the US for clothes, in PA where it was tax-free for those, with the 36-40s, but my weight gain happened so fast I literally outgrew them in a matter of weeks and was unable to wear them. I kept them around for several years until my weight plummeted back down to now and can wear them comfortably. They still look brand new.

      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!
