Thank you... expect to be here soon, too. I had my surgery just two months before yours and you are close.

It's ever so nice to be able to write. "1" in the front part of your weight, isn't it? For me, it gave renewed commitment to keep on toward Goal, it no longer seemed so hopeless an undertaking.😝👣😝

Exactly. It's proof my mind can't deny that the surgery works.

I know those feels!!!

I was just thinking as I was reading this post, how did you guys feel when you entered onederland? I was just thinking, I'm going to cry tears of everything. I have not been in onederland since my late twenties and I'm 44. I was in the low 200 area, but haven't seen that in forever either. I'm happy for all of you making and meeting your goals...

My goal is 150 and I don't recall weighing 150 at any time in my life. I am 67. I wore a size 20 when I got married the 1st time at age 19. It will be mind blowing to get there. You are getting close!

I thought I would cry and feel lots of emotions, too. As for me, I was surprised by not crying and I did not feel as emotional as I thought i would. Instead, I smiled uncontrollably then I nodded "yes" at the scale and I said, "Well? Well gosh, there it is." Coupled with huge gratitude to my surgeon and for my surgery. Then a sense that "I must stay at this or under this. It's time to really get serious now." Out in sunshine in real life outdoors, there is this warm steady glow. You look at other small women and think, "I'm same now. I don't stick out anymore, I'm not different-looking from this any longer. This feels awesome."

      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!
