I’m down 30lbs in 30 days! Just amazing. Clothes are all to big. Healing was tough I won’t lie I was in agony for a while. Eating is getting better but still struggling. Can’t eat anything more than 3 bites. Have to drink most of my protein. All I can say is hang in there it does get better and you’ll be so happy you did!

Congrats! I had surgery the same day!

I won’t lie either. After having 5 kids ranging from 21 down to 21 months my body just refuses to get back to normal. And I honestly don’t have time for me! I don’t have an hr to go to a gym to work out. And trying to take time for myself at home is damn joke! I have hbp, arthritis and am just overweight. I needed this tool to help me get back to me. I’m not going to feel bad about getting healthy for me and my family because it’s helping me be able to be around a while longer to enjoy my new self and my family. Can’t wait to get to my goal weight. And you should never care what some dim wit that has no relevance in your life has to say!!! You just do you?

To each it’s own honestly. I tell ppl about my upcoming surgery. I feel like some people are nosey and some people really are looking for the courage to start their own journey. I am not ashamed whatsoever. This decision takes courage and it isn’t easy. If I can help someone else struggling with their weight I’m all for it. If they just want to be in my business be my guest. Either way I’m healthy & fabulous.

I think it's a personal choice. I get offensive because people automatically assume people have weight loss surgery because (and I quote this because it was said to me )" people are just lazy and don't exercise". Completely untrue. Steroid use left me unable to lose weight (chronic use for a medical condition) no matter how many calories I cut, how much i worked out, I couldn't get it off. It took me a year to consider my PCP advice to think about weight loss surgery. Afterwards, i decided that I was taking a break from treatments and specialist, I would continue to see my cardiologist, but I needed a break from my pulmonary doctor and oncologist. If my pcp thinks I need to follow up with them then I'll do so. As of right now, all my labs and scans are stable. And I contribute that to the weight loss, and able to get off medication that was probably damaging my body. I'm open about my journey. Considering that I lost a ton of weight fast, they were either going to come to the conclusion it was surgery or cancer. I'd rather explain the sleeve, then my medical history lol- it's pretty complicated. And I work in the field.

I had my sleeve surgery in 2013. Eating anything is a problem to this day.

Glad you are working with your surgeon on this issue. I hope they can figure out your situation and you are out of pain soon. (hugs)

First pic is from late June/early July around highest weight of 282.4. Second pic from today trying on clothes at 204.6. Pardon the weird face, that’s my “hmm should I get this?” face :)
I think my goal is to lose another 25-30 if I can :)

My surgery was 2/26/19 and I’m just always feeling crummy. My incisions have for the most part healed well. But I have a constant ache in my stomach. Sipping fluids hurts eating well chewed foods hurt(sometimes doesn’t stay down) both times it was a meat product. Dr said to move back to purée which i did but the pain is still a constant thing. Anyone else have this happen and how long until I feel normal again? Sometimes i regret this due to this pain.

You may need to undergo another endoscopy, make sure there are no ulcers, strictures and make sure the operative path is all clear inside. I have been on liquid/puree since last August because of those things in my life, and it is not fun to go through. Never have dumped , the Big bugaboo of bypassers, food doesn't stay down long enough to do that! One blessing, if it can be called that, food doesn't stay down long enough to develop a smell, still can't hardly eat meats, Precious Pouch may be 6 months old but she is in charge and has NO Sense of Humor. But I take each attempt as still a growth experience. And do my level best to smile? no matter what comes or comes up.
