Thanks. A shopping trip though will wait until I am at my goal weight...but it seems possible now! When I started this LB journey I thought it wouldn't/ couldnt happen for me, but I am a believer!

Thanks Ezma, Thanks RSG!

I bought myself a new bra this weekend - not anticipating this achievement but just because it was DESPERATELY needed! I couldn't believe how much my shape has changed when I was fitted (and I am a firm believer in getting fitted properly by someone else)....the difference in clothes is amazing!

Thanks ladies! You are the only ones (outside of DH) who know this...and I just was bursting with excitement. My feet were indeed tiptapping all day!

It's a great feeling - the hard work pays off, and although Im not too goal weight, this is just reinforcing that it is possible!

For my fellow VVs who are not there yet, YOU CAN DO IT!!!

      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!
