3 month Surgiversary!!!



Recommended Posts

YAY!!!! Today is exactly 3 months post op for me and things are going GREAT! I lost 20 pounds in the month before surgery and now am a totaly of over 80 POUNDS DOWN! It is unbelievable and I seriously catch myself NOT believing it when I look into the mirror.

Being newly single again (after breaking it off with my Fiance') it feels AMAZING to have cute guys hold open doors for me, to feel the glances when I walk into a room........... and trust me, I am NOT stuck on myself. It just really does amaze me how differently I have been treated ever since about 60 pounds down.

I am no longer afraid of the camera, and when I am out with friends I no longer want to find a table to sit behind to hide me fat a$$.... lol, love it! I am the girl whose foot wiggles all the time when i am sitting down, and the girl who would rather stand that sit when we are at the bar or at karaoke......... Please, don't think I am trying to sound conceited... I still have a LOT of things about my body that I hate and I in no way think that I am the cat's meow.... but damn I feel good!

I smile day in and day out. Little things that used to bother the crap out of me don't seem to matter as much anymore......... Life is good!!!

I will post some new pix as soon as I take some! :)

My name is Wes and I am just a week away from my 3 month anniversary and feel so much better also. I am down 95 pounds total including my 3 week preop diet. I still have about 90 to 100 before my goal, but already a major difference in the way I feel and look. Everytime I see someone I haven't seen since my surgery, It gives me great satisfaction to see their reaction. I will post before and after pics when I get closer to my goal weight. I do go to the gym for about a 45 min workout every morning and it gets easier every day. I was wearing size 52pants and already in 42, my shirts were 4x and now comfortably in 2x. So the moral of this story to anyone contemplating the surgery is it is AWESOME!!! Congrats!!!

      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!
