I Want To See Before & After Pics! (Cont'd)



Recommended Posts

Hiii. I'm Amanda. 23 years old. Was sleeved on October 21, 2013. (SW 304lbs) Today almost 6 months later (CW 203lbs) Total lost -101lbs. Goal weight #1 is 170 Main goal weight is 145/155 (I am 5'4) Here are some pics :) Before (10/2013) & After (04/2014) Then Now Sept 2013 Today 4/14/14

Ahh, just would like to share a little more of my journey !:

The past six months have transcended my highest hopes.

This surgery was, by far, the greatest decision Ive ever pursued.

I started out as a miserable, girl hidden within a body that served as a prison.

And after shedding over 100lbs in under 6 months, after not being able to walk on a treadmill for 20 minutes to now being able to RUN ... FAST for 45mins - 1 hour.

After squeezing into size 20 jeans to Now having my size 12 jeans starting to fall off of me.

I am finally free. My body is , for the first time EVER, matches the mental image i have had of myself. One day I was walking towards a shop and the reflection in the glass startled me. I was wondering why there was a pretty, thin looking, woman coming towards me ?

It was me. I had not recognized myself.

By the end of this months I will be a proud member of ONEDERLAND!! (Only THREE pounds away!!) .

My sister had her VSG done one month before me. My two cousins had gotten there VSGs done in December & one in February. Therefore I have had the best support system i could have ever imagined.

One girl who was my friend completely ignored my calls & such immediately after I was released from hosp after surgery . She was always morbidly obese & I think she was just upset that she wasnt able to be approved for her surgery (she was opting for sleeve)

Months go by and have not heard from her . Then recently she adds me on twitter and tumblr writing all these things like 'I am so glad I didnt get the surgery like u taking the easy way out , u are a weak freak haha' . Mind you this girl is 5'0 and over 300lbs. I laughed even though it got under my skin. Certainly this surgery is no easy way out.

Well yeah

Hi everyone! I was sleeved march 24th 3 weeks out and I can't believe the results already. It's amazing when you see it in picture form because physically I don't really feel much different.

Starting weight:236

Current weight:202

      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!
