April Sleevers! Where are you at in your Journey?



Recommended Posts

I am doing well and very happy with my progress.

I joined the local wellness center and have been swimming three to five times a week.

I am feeling good and becoming more mobile.

I'm doing good! Down 92 lbs...hoping to hit 100 by Dec 31st! I am noticing it is definitely easier to eat but still losing so that's good! I still have weird things that make me sick like cold milk but dr says it's normal ????.

How's everyone else doing?

Not gaining, that's the good news but have slowed down. I am 71 lbs down from date of surgery and 86 lbs from this time last year. Woohoo!!!

I'm down to 195... not exactly where I wanted to be at this stage of my weight-loss and still hoping to lose more. I recently notice that I don't get sick as much and I hungry more often which makes me nervous... I just don't want to fall back into old habits.

Sounds like everyone is doing great!

I am down about 160, but more importantly I am regaining my mobility and my life!

I am swimming laps regularly and am able to swim longer and faster than I have in years.

I'm doing well. Weightless has definitely slowed to a crawl since returning to the gym in September. It's taken me 3 months to lose 15lbs! But I'm down 70lbs since surgery and 135lbs from my highest weight. I still have a long way to go, but I feel confident I'll get there eventually. I have to keep telling myself this isn't a sprint. ????

@@CapeMom3 There are many brands out there and trust me after surgery your taste buds are going to be different so prepare yourself carefully. What you like now you may not like after surgery. Watch the sugar content in your shakes as I have found for me after surgery anything that had a sugar content of more then 3 grams was to sweet. Good luck to you.

      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!
