My story and new journay



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

While am currently now 15 days post op of my gastric sleeve and I can say that it was the best decision that i could have made. I started my journey weighing in at 375 I felt so ashamed of myself telling myself how could I allow myself to gain so much weight and then I started have physical problems from my feet swelling, pain in my knees and I even tore my meniscitis in my right knee. I made the decision to change my life. My new life started on the 19th of September were I weigh in at 344 after being on Clear liquids. Had my first follow up with my gastric doctor I weigh in at 342 and my current weigh is now 338. Am slowly making process and I can honesty say that I feel proud of myself there are times that I have to stop those negative thoughts that seem to creep in telling me that am never going to lose the weight and always be big and fat. But am working on my mind as well as my body.

      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.
