Surgery Date 1/29/13

Down 50 lbs and feeling great!! I still would like to lose about 20-30 more lbs. I haven't been this size in about 5 years and it feels great to see results! I did not have to do a pre-op diet so what I've lost has been post surgery. I eat everything in moderation (I have a sleeve of steel) - including sweets, Pasta, bread and yes, even fast food (AHH!) LOL - I just eat less. I'm not telling others to do what I do, or looking for comments/advice on my eating habits, I'm simply doing what works for ME! I haven't had any problems and the pay off has been amazing! I want to encourage ANYONE who is considering this surgery to really think about following through with it. It has been the BEST thing I've ever done for myself. My confidence and attitude has totally changed and I feel like my true self again. It has set me free from the bondage of food and guilt. I can't remember the last time I thought of a 'diet' or 'I shouldn't be eating this'.....those things are part of the past. Now I ENJOY my life again!

I can't wait to see what the year brings - this is me 5 months out!

thanks everyone! it's such a good feeling to read all of your comments! :)

Courtoomp - YES EVERY OUNCE IS GOOD ENOUGH!! They all add up and over time, those ounces and lbs will make the biggest difference inside and out. So snap your fingers, twitch your neck and in your sassiess voice say to yourself, "YOU GO GIRL!"

Congrats to everyone on their journey!

      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!
