Good and bad moment today



Recommended Posts

Let's start with the good... I can eat puréed foods. tuna never tasted so good. I'm doing flips here.. Not really in my mind. Haha. Now I need to learn how to separate food and Water better.

Bad. I only lost 10 ibs in 2 weeks!! I was expecting more so my scale lies to me. I'm putting it away and focusing on me now and let the docs weigh me in a month and be shocked :)

Thanks.. It's just frustrating that's all. I'm not discouraged though. I hid my scale and stopped weighing myself. I can see a difference in the mirror so that's all I need.

I only lost 10.. now in stall.. it'll happen, too early to get frustrated. Now if I go a whole month without losing I'll probably lose my mind. But a week or two at this early stage is normal

When I started my journey, I printed a post from LilMissDiva, posted on August 19th, 2011. Title is "WLS Do's and Don'ts".

Everyone should at least read this post.I have a copy by my computer, and look at it frequently. Especially good reading for those just statring out on your journey.

Good luck, wish everyone the best.

Everyone always expects to see a huge weight loss number at first which isn't realistic. We didn't gain wight overnight and won't loose it that way either. You are losing 5lbs a week which is great. Stick to the program, stay encouraged and you'll see results. Good luck on your journey.

      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!

      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.
