Isn't it an amazing feeling to see that huge milestone. You have smashed it in such a short time too. What can you do now that you struggled with 100lbs ago ?

I made a comment a while ago that it is amazing how as you gain weight you don't notice all the negative changes to your body but when you loose the weight you notice EVERY TINY CHANGE!

My knees no longer grind when walking up steps.

My feet and ankles don't swell up when walking around or being on them for a period of time.

I get up from sitting much easier.

I walked around all day (9 hours) at the amusement park and didn't really get worn out or "ready to go" in a few hours.

I fit into smaller booth seats at restaurants, and don't worry about specifically asking for a table.

Gezz, the list could go on and on!

I need to remeasure myself because I see a huge difference. Even my shoes are loose.

I went from a 4x shirt to a 1x or 2x depending on the cut. Size 26 jeans down to a size 20, which is loose.

Flip side, so many almost new expensive clothes to donation! Three trash bags already and I need to go through my shirts tonight! We really need to find a way to do a clothing exchange for bariatric patients.

Great job!

I had to pick up a 50 lb bag of pet food the other day and it was pretty heavy! Then I realized I'd been carrying around the equivalent of almost 2 of those every day for years pre-surgery.

Imagine how you'll feel after the next 100 lbs are gone!

      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.
