NSV this morning



Recommended Posts

My brother-in-law came in late last night to spend the night, I was asleep so he didn't see me. I was really hoping to keep my weight loss from him and his wife and surprise them this spring when we rode the Harleys down to their house. I purposely put on baggy pants and a big bulky sweater to hide some of the weight loss. I walked out in the dining room and right off the bat he said "Boy Betty, you have lost weight". I said yeah, a little bit. He said "no, a lot".

I loved getting the compliment, but sure was hoping to hide it for a while from them. I guess I will have to try and lose a lot more before I go~ :)

Betty, -42 pounds! That's a whole anorexic person! Seriously, that's a big chunk and I'm glad he noticed. He'll be even more impressed by springtime and you're down another chunk. Congratulations!

I agree with Vera. Get into some tight jeans NOW! You have lost a LOT of weight and you can't hide it anymore! Silly girl! :)

As the loss slows and we feel like we struggle for every pound, it can start to feel like we have so much more to lose. Others can still see the difference, though. Take the compliments as a reinforcement that you really are changing. You are sure to change a lot more by spring.

shake it girl! I bet you look like a million bucks! I think I would have kissed my Brother-in-law right on the top of the head for being such a sweetie! Really... you should be so darn proud of yourself and let your little light shine!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
