Still only see small change. Feeling bummed and down.



Recommended Posts

74 pounds is a substantial amount, so try to not be discouraged. You're doing fantastic and looking good. I bet you're wearing smaller clothes than you were this time last year, and that this time next year they'll be even smaller.

It is normal to not see much change (for quite a while) when we start out pretty heavy. Our eyes just aren't sensitive to "less fat". We just see "fat" and "fit".

You'll really start seeing the difference when you get down to wearing clothes under size 20. (I started at size 24 and am size 20 now, but people can't tell except my face).

You look amazing!

Remember you see yourself every day. Others that only see you occasionally will notice. I see quite a difference

I'm down 78 pounds in 6 months and I also don't see it. But I feel better and my son who hasn't seen me since Christmas noticed in a profile picture of mine.

So don't get discouraged.

Also, the sizes haven't gone down like I thought they would but I'm WAY more comfortable in my clothes

Even though I knew I was smaller and my body was changing I never felt a big difference until I was in normal sizes. I started at a tight 28, it was until I hit a 12 that I really felt small and successful.

Just keep losing.

      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!
