Ya know I knew I was big, but didn't realize I was THAT big. I've lost half of my weight to lose to get to goal (315 HW 236CW 165GW) and finally I see the difference. Suddenly I'm more confident wearing clothes that I wouldn't have worn before. I dont fear clothes showing my belly or butt when I move. Its an amazing NSV. I don't feel all that smaller but I guess 79 lbs is a big chunk off of me. Only 71 more to go!Collage_2022-08-26_21_53_13.jpg

You are WAY, WAY smaller, but you know what I like even more? The big smile on your face now!

Great job!

That is great. You look good. And 79 pounds is a lot. Well done!

I hope I will be able to get a result this visible. I have lost 22 pounds in two and a half week, but I don't really see a big difference yet. Tonight I met some cousins and had to participate in a group photo. My cousin sent me the photo and I'm still fat. I don't look any smaller. Hopefully though, I will some day.

The big initial weight loss is Fluid weight. You won't see it that much in photos. I also use the baritastic app and records measurements. I noticed inches going down much more then I seen it in any photos. Watch the inches, you will be pleasantly surprised.

How much Water weight can you lose, though? I read somewhere that you can lose up to 20 pounds of water after changing your diet. I have now lost almost 26 pounds on the scale. Surely, some of that must be fat? I'd be really disappointed if I've gone through all of this just to lose water weight.

It takes a while for some of us to see it. In the mirror especially. Even some people lose like 100 pounds and everyone else can of course see lt but they can’t see it themselves. Sometimes planting two photos next to one another helps. You will get there though. Of course it’s not all water weight. You are on the right track. It just takes time.

Congratulation and well done! You look amazing. I was looking through some old photos from last year and I was shocked to see how big I was in those specially my face and thighs.

      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!
