I jumped over my halfway mark this morning. I'm so excited. I hope the second half of this weight-loss journey is as thrilling as this first half. I love my band!

Congrats! That has to feel great. :biggrin2:

Probably another couple months before I can say that but I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks. :)

I also just realized that for the first time ever, I weigh what my drivers' license says I do. This morning I weighed 230 and that's what the DL says. So cool. Not for long, though, pretty soon it will say more than I weigh. That will be a first as well.

Congratz Melissa! It's so good to see the progress the double V's are doing. I hope the second half goes as smoothly (and as quickly) as the first! :smile2:

I will put up pictures soon. Saturday is my 5 month mark from starting my pre-op diet, so that's the day I will be taking my official progress pictures. I'll post them once I've got em.

Thank you, Everyone!

In 15 minutes it will be my 36th birthday. I'm so blessed to finally not dread the fact that I've gotten older. This has been such an important year for me as far as taking charge of my future. I have such hope that things will continue getting better and better. This morning I hit 75 pounds lost. I feel so blessed!

      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!
