Around 5 months out and 92 lbs down!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello All!! I was sleeved Jan 24th 2011. It has been an interesting journey to say the least. My SW was 304 and I am now 212. Only 12 lbs til ONEDERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant belive it. I recently changed my goal weight to 140 from 160 but Im not sure if that is very realistic but I am striving for it!!! My weight loss has slowed down some but that is due to my "falling of the wagon" and when I say that I mean not working out or eating as healthy. But the AMAZING part of the sleeve is that although I messed up I am still losing weight!!!! Its not 3-5 lbs/week anymore..more like 1-3 lbs a week. But the beauty of it is that I can start fresh and when I work out I drop ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know Im not gaining it back. If anyone is thinking about this DO IT!!!!!!!!!! Best decision I've ever made!!!!!!!!!! And I know it gets old but this is just a TOOL. But damn it is the best effing tool I've ever used and if you work the sleeve it will work for you!!!!!!!!! This week Im becoming more committed again and staying away from the crap. My problem is I forget to eat and Im a single mom and I work 2 jobs so I eat out. Well I have a wedding June 17th and I want to be UNDER 200!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope all is going well for eveyone!!!!!!!!!

      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.
