When I started my little journey back in March I weighed 479 pounds. I had to do 6 months of nutritional therapy before the surgery and I am now 1 week out from surgery. In that time I have lost a total of 91 pounds, 21 since my surgery 9/26. I did a little before and after comparison you can see below.

It's the little things that have kept me going. Like my wedding band that now spins around my finger instead of digging in, being able to get dressed without sounding like I just ran a mile and my husband being able to put his arms completely around me for the first time.

It wasn't easy, I spent A LOT of time hungry and craving. Especially during the 2 weeks before surgery on that awful diet, but I am already feeling better and it was sooooo worth it!

Fantastic! What a great accomplishment is such a short time! And so much of it was without the help of your new "tool"! Just think what you'll be able to accomplish in the next 12 months!

I can't wait to see your next set of pictures...........you'll be a "shadow" of your former self, with a smile so wide it will jump right off the page!

Keep up the great work, and great attitude. It only gets better from here......

Hubby puts his arms around me and just squeezes - and my wedding band is now on a chain he gifted me "made of finest silver from Spain" so I would no lose it. (my fav song is "Brandy" by Looking Glass)...

It is hard. It is awesome. I would do it again.

In the end, I did not survive, I thrived. You seem poised and accomplised and doing it too! Keep up the great work!

      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!
