Heading for less than 15 stone and I think I'm going bananas!



Recommended Posts

I am only 2lbs away from being the lightest I have been since I was 20 (16 years ago)....I have been at this point many times before, but always began to self-sabotage and regained all I had lost and then some. I have no idea what my mental barrier was with the 15 stone mark, but self-sabotage is a non-option this time.

It's a really scary thought entering into this unchartered territory...I have no clue what I will look like and it just seems so abstract that I am having bother processing it just now.

I knew this was coming, but didn't realise quite how big an abyss the number 14 at the beginning of my weight feels.

Anyone experienced similar?

Pats on the head and being told it will all be okay will also be greatly appreciated!

I've never been able to lose more than 40 pounds. Here I am still pre-op and I've lost 43+ pounds! Breaking that mental barrier felt amazing. You will break yours and it will feel amazing too. Good luck! :-)

      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.

      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!
