I havent been here for a while



Recommended Posts

HI all. I have not been here for a while. I had surgery the end of October . Had a sleeve done. I started at 247 and am now at 191. I had hoped I would be down more. But I also had surgery to have a tumor removed off of my arm. I also had pneumonia. Not to use those things as an excuse but I did have some set backs. I am looking forward now to getting back in the gym and getting more exercise in. I am doing good with food. Sticking to Proteins and avoiding Snacks. Snacks were my downfall. I have an office job so I really have to make myself move when I am off work so that I get my exercise in. Wanted to say hi and I look forward to being more active on the board. You all give me lots of encouragement and great ideas!! I made this before and after pic today. You guys/gals should do this -it helps me when I get discouraged or have a set back. We have to keep on keeping on!! This surgery was a blessing. I aint ready to stop my progress just yet. Hugs to you all!!

You look great and are doing wonderful. That's an awesome loss so far! I was sleeved 11/16 so we aren't far apart.

      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!
