looking great!

I'm a sleeve. Being able to tolerate and eat anything is a double-edged sword for me. It’s great that I don’t have dumping syndrome but, my surgery restriction is less years out. I can gain in a heartbeat and its slow to come off.

We all work this differently. I wish you the best in the months and years to come.

People who say WLS is the easy way out don't know what the hell they're talking about! Way to go!

I hate this comment. I'm lucky no one has said it to me but if they ever do I have my response:

"So What? Even if that were true - which its not - what's inherently evil about easy? If you were told you had cancer and that it could be easily treated with surgery are you gonna say 'No thanks, Doc, I think I'd rather treat it the hard way'? No, that would be ridiculous."

Congrats on your loss so far! Just remember while you can eat anything in portion size to make healthy choices!

Today I had my 7th weeks follow up, all went great, I can now eat everything in portion size, this journey is no joke

Someone told me that I took the easy way out but they don't know the struggle in this journey. Peace and blessings to you all photo0.jpeg

      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!
