2 Months Post Op!



Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

I had my gastric sleeve surgery on Sept 12th.
I finally weighed myself today (I have avoided the scale and focused on feeling good and getting familiar with my new stomach) and am officially down 50 lbs since my surgery date.
Is that enough weight to have lost so far or should it be more?
I just want to be sure I’m on track. I know I will eventually hit the dreaded “stalls” which is why I don’t really want to be a scale watcher.

I have started to slack off on the super healthy eating I was doing and I’ll tell you what.. that makes me physically feel like crud!
The high Protein, no breads, pastas, sugars, ect diet plus my Multivitamins had me feeling great. Now I’m noticing the icky old feelings creeping back a bit.
The only thing saving me is the literal inability to eat very much at all.
Anyway, rambling aside.. I’m sure I will be able to do well & feel good as long as I get myself back to the good old routine I began after surgery.
I haven’t even begun any form of exercise and I have a desk job.. so that’s another thing that’ll help with more weight loss once I get my Buns moving! 🤣

Love it finally another person who is not jumping up and running to the scale - and is focused on Vitamins and supplements.

Oh i agree you move off the healthy eating to just a little of junk and you feel like hell - I drank Friday and wrecked my whole day yesterday, No eating yesterday, feeling like hell -

As for 50 yes that is great you are about the same as me 3/4 a pound a day. Also I can not eat either it is a pain in the ass to eat and most of times painful

      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.
