Kissing obesity and my twenties goodbye!



Recommended Posts

I will be 30 tomorrow and I'm so excited to be entering my thirties and not be obese. I started my journey in November 2011 at 260lbs. I had surgery 3/13/2012 at 250lbs and a BMI of 49. Today I'm 175lbs with a BMI of 32 and 30 lbs from my personal goal. I'm excited about where the sleeve has taken me and where it will take me! I can't wait to go to the license bureau tomorrow and get my weight put on my lic :P

Congrats!!!! I know you are very excited!!!

I am excited. I have several birthday dresses to choose from compared to last year where I could only fit on old 2x gown. And now I can wear heels again because my knees don't hurt from carrying so much weight.

Happy Birthday!!!! I'm 30 next year (September), so I hope to look good by my birthday too.

Advice: Put on the cutest pair of heels, a fitted dress and make absolutely sure to cross your legs (since for so many years we couldn't). Have a great time Hun!!!!!!

      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!
