Coming Up On 4 Weeks Post Op



Recommended Posts

OMG!!! I can't belive I actually have a sleeve. I feel very well. Just a little soreness around my main incision over my navel. BM's regular now although the diahrrea was starting to tire me out...mostly from having to do so much laundry!!!

I am 26 days post op and down 25 post op lbs. for a total weight loss of 65lbs. I am thrilled. I feel great. Getting some exercise in, mostly in the pool and elliptical machine because it's still so darned hot here with heat advisories so I really haven't been able to really get out and walk the neighborhood.

People are noticing the weight loss. I went to a client site on Friday and my client said 'Wow, you're skinny!". I said not yet, but I am on my way. :lol0::thumbup::001_rolleyes:

My parents are coming to AZ next month. Haven't seen them since Feb. so they will be shocked to see the total. My dad doesn't know about the surgery. My mom does because she paid for it. I know they will be thrilled as the whole family is diabetic and I was on my way there with my weight being so high.

My son and his family were here on Sunday and I hadn't seen him in a few months (he has a wicked work schedule). He was excited for me. I still didn't tell them about the surgery. But they could see I was eating a whole lot less.

I am wearing some clothes I haven't been able to put on for a long time. About 5 years. Luckily they're not out of style. :laugh0:

I have 16 more lbs to get to Twoderville!!! That will be a major milestone for me. :thumbup: I can't wait. I can't wait. I can't wait!!!!

CONGRATS. That is so cool when family hasn't seen you awhile and don't know about surgery can comment about your weight loss. Keep up the excellent work. That's awesome.:001_rolleyes:

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
