Today marks one month that I gave myself a second chance at a normal life :) I'm so excited for this coming year. But for now, I'm thankful for the little changes I feel and see in my body. I haven't weighed myself since my post op appointment and I refuse to until I go back on the 22nd. 10 days after surgery I was down 20 pounds. So I don't know where I'm at now but I'm excited to find out!!

Thanks!! Lol ummm it also helps that I don't have a scale nor do I plan on getting one soon. I just know in the beginning the weight is up and down and I don't want to get all crazy obsessed.

5 weeks out

Oh okay! So we're like a week apart. I know the week before my cycle was awful. I felt extra heavy and super bloated. I could see it in my feet and face and everything. I KNOW I wasn't losing then. I hope it's not like that every month :(

I don't have a cycle anymore...(hysterectomy). I still have my ovaries so maybe that's what it is, but idk.

      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!

        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.
