Do you still view yourself as "fat"



Recommended Posts

Yesterday not long after I posted in here, I went for a drive in my newish sports car I purchased this summer. I would have never been able to fit comfortably in that car before surgery.

I have been lusting after a luxury sports coupe for years and I finally got one this summer.

When I am driving that car, getting in and out I NEVER feel fat. I small and sexy like my car. I LOVE that car and I have so much fun with it. When I am in it, it is a constant reminder of how far I have come.

I was thinking about what I posted in this thread while I was driving and I realized mostly in my day to day life I don't really think about my weight or how I feel about my weight. I just enjoy my life. I am having a ton of fun with my new body by focusing on what it can do, and not what it looks or feels like. That is the only thing that got me over my body image issues last year.

      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?

        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.
