im beginning to think sleeve surgery is a scam



Recommended Posts

Keep in mind that calories in/calories out is not absolute mathematics. And it's not instantaneous. It's not like you drive your car 20 miles and burn 2 gallons of gas immediately. It doesn't work that way in the instant. But over time it will.

If im not consuming as much calories and moderately exercising' date=' i should have lost more than 26lbs since 12/17[/quote']

You did not gain 70 pounds overnight and you will not lose it like that either

If you haven't lost anymore weight by the time you are 6 months out and you follow the program then you can call it a scam. You have to at least give it the 6 month try.

I am sooooo confused. Lost 26 pounds in less than a month and not happy....exactly what were you expecting? Did your doctor promise you you'd wake up from surgery looking like Kate Moss?

Amen. People want a miracle while I'm here just wanting to feel healthy and will take it. Some fat people feel so entitled. That's the same rationale used to get you fat.

I think the majority of people get discouraged when they hit a stall. I know I was and I thought I was a failure. It gets better.

Try to stay positive and remain focused and on track. We will win this thing! :)

I just have to day when i went back to work one of the guys was like "i was expecting you to come back all dressed up in a suit" meaning i thought you'd be skinny by now, guess he was expecting Kate moss lol

      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!
