Wouldn't believe it if i wasn't living it!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Jan 17th and I've lost 55lbs!!! The transformation of the reflection in the mirror is almost unbelievable as I can't believe I made this decision, actually followed thru with it and have been living a COMPLETELY different life since. I never thought I would be able to stick to the diet changes, etc prior to the surgery however after the surgery its like my brain was also rewired with the removal of the stomach portion and I have a completely different thought process about food and I don't feel deprived or like I am missing out on anything because of the minor limitations. Does anyone else feel like this?? I have inspired 2 people at my job to go in for a consult with their dr since seeing the success I am having and I can't believe people are coming to ME (the large girl) for health advice and being told how great my body looks.

Wow would not believe this could happen if I wasn't actually living it. Best decision I have ever made for ME!! Go Sleeve, keep working your magic on me. Smile...

That's so awesome!!!!!! It's true about the whole mind rewiring. The lifestyle changes are crucial and after a while it becomes habit. My other favorite part is that my family has joined in with the clean/healthy eating and being more active outside!! We've allotted Fast-food Friday though and the funny thing is my boys will order things like grilled chicken wraps, no ranch or fries!!! I'll get a salad and part it in 3 ;) It's so worth it!

I feel the same way - if it wasn't happening to me I don't know if I would believe it! Congratulations on your success so far!

      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.

      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!
