Which bit of your body are you rocking post sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I never imagined I could ever really like my body again. but post sleeve, I have fallen in love with my legs! I have worn a skirt for the first time in 2@+ years, knee boots and skinny jeans - and my legs look fab :-)

Which bit of you do you love now???

I used to HATE my fat arms so much that I would wear a cardi in the heat of summer to cover up my arms at all times. Now its all sleeveless baby!

Oh I hope a bunch of people post here! I'm at the stage where my stomach is deflating slowly but leaving behind unsightly folds and I'm not loving my body right now. Temporary I know, transitional, I get it, but sure would love to read about how it is later on. Your skirt post made me happy and gave me hope!

So feeling this. I am almost halfway to my goal and still am the fat girl in the room. I've been a slow loser and I know I need to be patient and all and remember that 70 lost is actually good but I too am encouraged by the hope that I may actually not hate parts of me anyway one day down this road.

I'm far from goal, but there are huge changes already.

My childhood nickname was Fish, because I loved swimming, and never wanted to get out of the water.........It's been years where I've felt comfortable enough to go swimming....never mind in public.......now I go all the time to the town pool..........I'm still large, the thighs are still a sight to behold LOL But it's all good.....my self esteem has improved so very much.

      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!
