Putting a face to a name



Recommended Posts

We are pretty much not too far off. I've lost 32 pounds post surgery. The majority of the weight I've lost was pre-surgery. I guess that's not so bad either, but I just wanted you to know I think you're doing great yourself. :biggrin:

Believe me, I'm not perfect. I do the best I can, but sometimes those little snackies call me! Especially those little weekend snackies and they are the ones that have noooo trouble going right down!! :biggrin: And of course, it's the weekend...

Stay sweet!

:tongue2:Ha! This is good..at least I know I'm not the only one that suffers on the weekends!:biggrin: I write this after I just came back from meeting friends at a BBQ joint..1 rib, 1 salad, and a couple of pieces of fried okra! Couldn't resist the okra!:crying: Weekends it seems like I can't fill that void..even when I eat the same thing I do during the week..maybe too much time on my hands to think about what I'd like to eat!:biggrin: We will get there..we're strong and have been through too much not to!! :biggrin: Take care and enjoy the weekend!:cry_smile:

:w00t:Ok girls and guys! We are all entering our 3rd month and I know Lil Miss has been so aggressive in her program that she had mentioned putting up new pics!:biggrin2: Well I think we all have done so well that we should follow her train of thought and post more updated pics!:smile: I will probably have some made this weekend to post and I think it would be great if we all just took a few minutes to show how well we are doing and that we are conquering our errors and commanding our own destiny's again!!:w00t: I am so overwhelmed by reading how well everyone is doing!! :biggrin2: It is such a delight to go into this forum on most any topic and see such enthusiasm and positive accomplishments and everyone deserves kudos!! :smile:

That is such a great idea Queen. I'm sure I'm still a good few weeks away from reposting, but I just love to see everyone's progress.

Okay, to post pictures do I just need to code it like on MySpace? Or is it html? Or something completely different?

:tt1: Ok Ezma, you'll have to ask one of the computer gurus about that!:hurray: I have no idea how to do it but I know I somehow got my picture in on this thread a while back! Actually I think I just got lucky:wink2:! So all of you that know how to handle these hi-tech puters help Ezma (and me) out!!:Dancing_wub: Here we unite our knowledge again!!:Dancing_wub:

Okay, I know I still have a way to go but I decided to post them anyway. And don't worry, I know you can't really tell. I have a pretty large umbilical hernia that they won't fix until I lose weight and it sticks out so I hate that. That and the boobs have always been a bit prominent. :)

      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!
