What Can I Look Forward Too? :)



Recommended Posts

Hey so you didn't have the surgery???

2013 is my year....SD 11/19 Methodist Hosp in NY

Yes I had the surgery. I was being overly sarcastic.

Here's what else you can look forward to....

Not recognizing yourself in the mirror

Others not recognizing you

Saving a fortune on fast food (I pretty much lived on the "drive thru window" diet)

Buying smaller clothes

Throwing those out and buying even smaller clothes

Getting your wedding ring resized because its falling off

Tying your shoes without passing out from holding your breath

Seeing your hoo-hoo without a mirror

Skinny sex

More skinny sex

Sitting in a restaurant booth

Having the room to wiggle around in chairs

Having to buy padded toilet seats because you lose your natural padding

Hearing the question "how did you lose the weight?" 5 million times

Being able to wear "one size fits all" garments

Did I mention skinny sex?

Look forward to just being sexy and confident in your own skin. There is nothing better than being naked (taking photos) with some sexy thong/underware on posing in front of your husband. I love my new body and so does my hubby. Honestly, I love my sleeve and my surgeon for performing this miracle.

you will hate your body the first few weeks, probably even say u have regreted the decision, but around week 3-5 you will have been completely healed and eating a "normal" diet! :-D

      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!
