8 weeks out tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Man... I just hardly cant believe its only been 8 weeks! It feels like ages ago I was sleeved.

Tomorrow its 8 weeks and in these 8 weeks my body has already gone through such a transformation! Still unbelievable, I'm losing weight so fast my mind isnt anywhere near catching up and realising it.:bananajump:

So far I have lost 42 pounds, and, whats even better, a TON of pain! I have fibromyalgia and just 8 weeks ago there was so, so, so much pain. Now I can honestly say along with the 40+ pounds I lost 50% pain.

Everything has prettymuch been a breeze. I'm already totally used to not eating much, drinking lots of Water and have been riding horses again since 5 weeks out. I have also not had any stall whatsoever. I weigh once a week, but I bet I havent even stalled for a day :)

Excersize is so much easier! I have not yet started anything "new". Just riding, cycling, walking every morning for an hour, and as long as that seems enough, I'll wait with any other sports.

Eating about 600-800 calories a day, sometimes less. I can eat everything, just havent tried steak yet ;) I do make sure I chew stuff I havent eaten yet until its liquid.< /p>

Also started back on my diet Pepsi:001_wub:, only in the evenings.

Well, what else can I say? Just that I'd do it again in a heartbeat ofcourse!:lol0:

Hope all of you who still have to be sleeved will read this some day, as I read other succes story's, and will give you some hope and courage :lol0:

I'm 8 weeks out too - surgery was 10/15. I feel just as good as you do - isn't it great. I've lost about 40 pounds and I love it. Congratulations on the first 8 weeks.

      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!
