9 days and counting



Recommended Posts

It's official. I have just 9 days left! I was at first very nervous and extremely moody from the diet changes, but I am much happier, have a positive mind set, and the liquid diet is going surprisingly well. I don't even think about food. I am all about the discipline. No is no and that's that. I'm so ready to start my new journey!

Thank you! A year has flown by... just think in a very short time from now you too will be happier and healthier!

The first week (or four:p) are tough physically and emotionally, be kind to yourself and give yourself time :)

Yes, I'm so excited to begin. Thank you for those helpful tips because I can't help but think how ill feel mentally about it the first couple of weeks. I am going to try and take it one day at a time. I live by "this too shall pass" lol.

Yes I knew from reading here that there would be some depressing days. And boy there was! Even though I losing weight I still had days where I just went back to bed crying. It helped knowing the emotions where normal and temporary.

But know that we are so lucky to have this opportunity and in the end it's worth the few down moments.

you may go through unscathed too! I was terribly addicted to food and missed my comfort eating.

I too am a Nov 13th sleever! Feeling very good about this as my insurance required 6 months of counseling and nutrition classes. Prepared me well in addition to the many years of trying to decide if WLS would be too "extreme" for me.

Decided a healthy me is what was best...

I wish you great success!

I am in Northern California. You?

      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?
