3.5 Months Post-Op=-72lbs



Recommended Posts

So today I am 3.5 months out and loving my sleeve more each day.

I can't believe how easy this process has been and I feel great!! My recovery was seemingly effortless and the weight loss has not slowed down as of yet. (knock on wood) Getting used to the new Way of eating has been pretty simple too. I've never been a junk foot eater and the last time I at fast food I was probably 11..So the transition from HUGE healthy meals many times a day to tiny meals has been easy with the aid of my sleeve. Even going in to surgery i didnt believe that i would be mentally satisfied with such little portions and I can now confidently say that I don't feel deprived in any way. I no longer have a constant nagging hunger like I did before. The head hunger hasn't really been a problem either...but like I said I didn't every crave bad stuff to begin with so maybe I'm just weird. Haha.

I am starting to notice a bit More Hair loss then pre-op but nothing I wasn't prepared for. I keep my protien over 70g and take my Vitamins and Biotin daily so I know that I am doing everything I can to minimize the hair loss. I've accepted that I have to let this run it's course for now.

We recently purchased a home and have been moving, painting and sorting like crazy for the last 2 weeks so I have been unable to update my YouTube vlog. The Internet is going to be installed on Tuesday so I will be able to update then. (posting from phone for now.)

Thank you to everyone here for being so informative..you have all helped me on my journey thus far more then I can even express.

If any pre-ops or newbies have questions for me please feel free to ask away.

      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!
