Hey Fenton - no magic formula really - I just want to get my bmi under 30 initially so that gets me to 240 lbs. I was in that range about 10 years ago and it felt good, althoughI always knew I needed to lose about 20 more. I want to get to around 240 and as I approach that weight, I will see how things are going.

Good luck tomorrow !!

Same here. I'm kind of going off my weight when I graduated hs. I was 250 then and in pretty good shape as an offensive tackle. I originally thought I wanted 250 to 270. Then, as the pounds started coming off, I switched it to a flat 240. We'll see when I get there. At the rate I'm going, I should easily get there by my bandiversary. I'll talk with my surgeon or PA when I reach my goal. They told me at my first consultation that 225 was doable. We'll see.

The big thing for me is, DON'T EVER GO BACK UP!!!!! That is important to me.

I know about the shrinking problem Mike. I swear I've shrunk some as well. :rolleyes:

As long as the only shrinking we are talking up is in height :thumbdown:

      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'. ???

        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.

      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!
