7 month before and during pic



Recommended Posts

Saturday I hit my 7 month mark since my RNY surgery, and while at the gym, I had my trainer take my picture. I can honestly say that the last 7 months have been great, simply life changing. My diet has completely changed and I now go to the gym 4-5 times a week. I feel like a new person. So far I have lost 133 lbs. since surgery! I can't believe it.

I still have a bit of a ways to go, but I thank God everyday that I decided to start this lifestyle change last summer. I feel really blessed to have such a great support system in my family, friends, here, and at my gym.

I just wanted to take a few minutes to share my story. Thanks for reading!!!

Awesome! I am excited to be able to post before and after pics too. My procedure isn't till this summer. My trainer is coming over today and I wasn't really feeling it. Looking at all the before and after pics have inspired me. Thank you for sharing!

      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!
