Hey Everyone!

I recently hit the three stone lost point, and getting tons of lovely comments from people about how well I look. Loving being able to dress up pretty for Christmas parties for the first time too!

Here is my horrific before pic again for those of you who haven't seen it, and a couple from last night.

I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas, and that I might inspire anyone in a stall or on the road towards surgery to keep going!

xxxxx

1 stone = 14 Lbs so Twostepsback has lost around 42 Lbs.

Congratulations Twosteps! Keep us posted on your journey.

Thanks guys!!

I had many hopes from this surgery, but never truly expected that it could have gone so well and that I would get so much out of it. For me it was less to do with losing weight, and more to do with having control over what I eat and taking away the obsession with food which dominated my life.

I now barely think about food, and feel like a new person. I want to cry when I look at my before photo because it reminds me just how depressed and desperate I felt. Now I feel liberated.

I realise some people have not had such an easy ride post-op, and I can only say that I hope that everyone finds at least a fraction of the happiness I have found in time. I am extremely lucky, and I never take it for granted.

Ramble over! :)

Wow 2Steps - CONGRATS TO YOU!!!

You look great! I must also say how much happier you look too.

I think the transformation us sleevers go through on the inside is even better than that on the outside. I wouldn't trade it for anything!! Well, maybe one thing - but that's about it!! B)

      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'. ???

        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!
