In the "100" club again! 105 days Post Op Update



Recommended Posts

I can't believe it, but then again, I can! All this hard work and discipline is paying off.

My first milestone was to fit into Victoria's Secret Bra sizes again (the sizes you can actually buy IN store and not online...jerks lol). CHECK!

My second was to get under 200 lbs before my vacation to Ireland. We're leaving on Thursday and wouldn't you know it...199 on the dot! CHECK!

I started my journey at 299 my first surgeon visit, 284 my last appointment before surgery, then 264 day of surgery (after 2 week liquid diet) and now currently 199.

I haven't been under 200 lbs in over 10 years. I feel like my mind has to play catch up with my body, I'm losing and everyone sees it, but I don't see it as much. Nothing I can't talk with my therapist about.

Skin is sagging, but not too ad. My arms are totally fine, it's mostly my thighs, tummy and breasts that are looking a tad droopy these days, but it's all good.

I've been losing more hair lately, don't know if it will get worse before it gets better....I guess time will tell.

In any case, I'm thrilled about my vacation and I'm thrilled to be under 200 lbs!

I hope everyone else is doing fantastically and feeling happy and healthy ❤️

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
