So I had my sleeve done on April 2nd, 2014, just shy of 5 months. I used to come here quite regularly but life has been so busy, I don't get much time to post at all.

I've lost close to 70lbs so far, 2 shoes sizes, 4 bra sizes and 6 dress sizes. I don't really weigh myself anymore though because that scale plays mind games with me. I've lost lots of hair but I don't stress about it too much. I've started a local Bariatric Support Group because there are many people around my town who've had or want to have the surgery and there is no real support system. This also helps me to stay accountable.

I'm not one to be super strict with myself. I eat whatever I want, but I definitely know that my 'want' has changed dramatically since surgery. There's a big change on the outside, but the biggest change for me has been on the inside. I love myself. I love life. That is huge because I definitely didn't feel that way before April 2nd.

I am a total Crossfit addict. I do crossfit at least 5 days a week. I am addicted. It has made the biggest difference in the reshaping of my body.

So here's a before and "during" because my journey is still just beginning!

Wow!

Incredible transformation and you've just started! :)

Congratulations. I know my tastes have so changed and I'm so incredibly lucky for that. I don't crave sweets like I did before and I eat almost all Protein and whatever vegetables I can fit in.

      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.
