18 Months Out- Photo and Update



Recommended Posts

Just showing off and hopefully providing some inspiration!

SW: 226

Day of VSG: 202

CW: 136

It has been a LONG 18 months filled with self discovery, pain and triumph! I did not follow program 100% and lost at my own pace. It took me over 12 months to get close to goal (still 15lbs away!). Really wanted to provide some encouragement to anyone struggling at first or questioning this choice. Still THE BEST thing I've ever done!

Congrats you look awesome!!!!!!!!... and you have every right to show off.. I am a slow loser and thanx for saying you didnt follow 100%,,that makes me feel good cause so many people here make me feel like a failure if you dont have just Protein and veggies...I am trying to eat normal and it has worked for me ..yes i have had some pitfalls but all in all i am happy I have the sleeve.... Again enjoy your success ...you deserve it !!!!

Thank you everyone!

I did the best that I could. Didn't stick to Protein and veggies. Ate the occassional carb...and I still lost...just slowly! I did not exercise the first 6 months, but then I REALLY got into it! You see in the pic, I hiked to the top of a mountain!

So, really want to encourage anyone struggling that you can still get there :) Just accept that it will take longer.

BUT I will say, I have been trying to lose 15lbs for 6 months. I may never get to goal without vigilence.

      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?
