Happy Birthday and Congrats!

I didn't know we had sleeve "birthdays". But hey!! It sounds like a great idea to me!

We must have been sleeved about the same time (April 16 for me) So it's my 3 week birthday today! 3 weeks ago today, I had THE surgery!!

I'm celebrating losing 1/4 of my goal weight loss today!! I'm a lowish BMIer I need to lose 80 pounds, I've lost 22.5 lbs as of this morning!!

I'm going to Celebrate with two different-2 mile fast paced walks with my husband and my dog !!

Happy birthday!

My birthday is next month! So it will be my first birthday with the sleeve :)

No cake here, it's part of learning to Celebrate the events in life with people you love doing things you love and not having the first thought be.., "what kind of food do we want"

Weird concept huh?

Sorry for the double posts!! I'm still getting used to the workings of the VST!

I wanted to report that I met, and surpassed my initial exercise goal for my 3 week "sleeveaniversary". I got in 2, two and a half mile (fast-paced) walks today for a total of approx. 5 miles!!! Yay!!

I read about people having an immediate increase in energy shortly after surgery--but I thought it was an urban legend!

I used to huff and puff going up a flight of stairs!!

Gotta love the endorphins from a good day of exercise!! :)

      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.
