Down 70lbs with pics



Recommended Posts

As of this morning I am down 70 lbs. Woohoo!

I started this journey last November when I inquired about weightloss surgery with my pcp. At that time my weight was 289 lbs. I got my referral to my bariatrics team (Dr Gould in Manchester, NH). I went to the info seminar in Dec of 2012. From that point on I started walking with a pedometer and watching what I ate.

After jumping through many hoops and waiting for what seemed like forever I was finally sleeved on Aug. 26th.

I weighed 266 when I started the pre-op diet. The day of surgery I weighed 251. Three days later I weighed 259.

It's been 10 weeks since my surgery and I am now down to 219 lbs. I am really hoping, trying and working towards hitting the 200 lb mark for New Years. But my next goal is actually 215 lbs. That is the weight I was when I met my husband. I am hoping that I will hit that goal sometime next week.

I would also like to thank the many wonderful people on this sight that have be a great support for me through out this journey so far.post-54502-13838397109648_thumb.jpg post-54502-1383839713567_thumb.jpg

      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!
