Just finished my 3 month supervised diet, got approved for insurance last week, and finally scheduled for June 27th. It seems like a long time from now, but at least it will give me extra time to lift weights and build up some strength and also go through my food bucket list!


Starting Weight: 329lb 1/19/2017
Surgery Weight: TBD 6/27/2017
Current Weight: 313lb 5/9/2017

I am from the Corpus Christi area. I have a sister-in-law that lives in Irving and a brother-in-law that lives in Plano. I love that area and probably will go up there in the fall for a visit. Hopefully, a lot thinner. : )

*Update*

Only 3 more days until my Sleeve surgery (June 5th)! I am on day 8 of my 10 day liquid diet. I just want to encourage others when you get to your liquid diet phase. The first few days were extremely hard for me, I wasnt just hungry, I believe I was fighting the extreme addictions to food that got me to this point. But by beating those addictions and staying strong on the liquid phase I feel so confident going into surgery! Not to mention I've already lost 19lbs in 8 days! You got this guy's, this is going to do amazing things for all of us!

      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!
