Accepting reality



Recommended Posts

Accepting that the changes are real is a fight at times. Our perceptions are so much in our minds. I had sleeve surgery on 7/26. I'm down 32 pounds since then and 72 over all. I'm deeply grateful and humbled and what is happening to me.20170929_145202.jpg

You look fabulous, and I totally agree with you. Sometimes I look in the mirror and can't believe the changes I'm going through - is this real? Have I really gone down 3 dress sizes? Did I really walk that far without getting out of breath? I too feel so grateful and love the changes that are happening to me and what's to come.

Wow. I was sleeved a week before you and have only lost like 18 lbs since surgery. You look great! Finally only now my yoga pants are getting too big. I need to be happy with my steady and very slow loss but your pics are makin me jealous!

I too am thrilled that I'm getting smaller though. I love my sleeve.

You are doing great! And you are so right about how much of this is a mindset thing. I never would have imagined being satisfied and happy with so little food on my plate, but I just feel so good. I have a long way to go, but I know we can do this!

We are all so different...I wish we were more similar so we know what to expect. Keep hanging in there. It is all so worth it!

      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!
