One NSV I've had is: I don't seem to drip food on my shirts anymore, as I lost weight I guess I am able to bend over the table better and I have fewer spills. And I can put my shoes and socks on without angling my body to the side around my belly.

I never thought about that but I haven't been dripping food on my shirts either. I think your right about it being easier to bend over the table but I also think that I eat slower so I am not trying to shovel the food in my mouth anymore. :cursing: What a difference it makes.

I know it's the smaller belly for me because even when I ate slow, I was always dripping something on me. I ruined so many nice shirts/sweaters that way. Haven't had one new shirt spot lately!

And another one I forgot is holding on to the stair railing. I find I don't have to as often. I would often support myself even going down to take pressure off my right knee that I had surgery on.

Amazing the little things with some weight gone. I wonder what other NSV's will crop up after another 25 pounds!

I'm so happy for you Longhorn.

199 seemed like an impossible goal to me and when it happened I had to weigh myself three times to check if it was right.

Congrats again.

This morning I tried on a pair of 16's (not the icky 16W's) I had in my closet from a few years ago and they fit! One pair buttoned but was a smidge to tight but the other pair fit great. They are really cute too. I didn't get to wear them for long because I gained so fast which means they are in really good shape. Very exciting!

I'm 5'1". How tall are y'all?

Fantastic Jill, can't wait for that day. I'm a smidgen under 5'2" so not far off you. This is great talking to people who are at a similar stage to me. I think I might go shopping for pants this weekend to see what size I can get into. I won't buy any just yet though.

      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!
