6 weeks and I'm more motivated than ever...



Recommended Posts

As much as I've learned so much from the users on this site I can't help but share my news...sure I've got family support but I don't know anyone going through this except for everyone that shares their stories on this site...I've got a long way to go...but in 6 weeks I'm down 48 lbs...3 sizes down for the shirts I wore before...4 sizes down in pants...loss some muscle but I plan to go back to my gym this friday. I've got a long way to go but man...this has just been such a boost for me and I'm hoping this ride just keeps on going. This has been the brightest spot of the year for me....thanks to all the support and information that I've read on this site...could not have done this without just family support. Still sticking to the script and feeling so blessed each day. Happy holidays to all????

Great results so far. Like you I only had my nurse and this site as support. The people have been amazing on here and in my life. Sometimes I wish I would have known someone going though the same thing but in the end there are other ways to get motivation to keep the journey you are on positive. I'm 1 year this week and down 150lbs, and still just as excited as in the beginning. Once you get your energy back and start to push your limits you will see how much you are now capable of, and it will amaze you.

Good luck and great job so far:)

one year and 150? I don't know how to respond to that...I didn't know what to expect and told my dr. I'd be happy 50 lbs lighter...at my one month he was like aim higher because I'm not done yet....stories like yours just resonates and makes me more motivated...can't help but just be proud reading all these success stories and hope that if I go down the right path I can be I the same boat as everyone on this site.

      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.
