Recommended Posts

I'm so excited to be 51lbs down at 6 weeks out!!!

I was sleeved Dec 3rd. I've got 49lbs more to go. But at 6'1" lots of people said I didn't need surgery to begin with (my starting bmi was 40.9) But at 310, I needed it to feel healthy and sexy and just damn good about myself again. So here's the pics. Whatta ya think? :) can you see the difference??

That's why I took the advice on here and made myself take before pictures, because I know I'm still going to see me as heavy even when I lose. I just got sleeved 1/15 and am looking forward to comparing my pictures to see the change. You looked beautiful before and you look beautiful now! Good job on your weight loss! So excited for you!

You are beautiful! How many sizes have you dropped? I think it takes longer for us tall girls to drop the sizes. Keep up the good work. The change is dramatic.

      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!
