Down 111lbs & feeling great!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved in April 8

SW: 342lbs

CW: 231lbs

I found an old picture from last October & what a difference. I flew to New York 2 weeks ago and it was an awesome feeling because I was always to embarrassed to fly because I was afraid they would tell me I was to fat. So when I got on the plane I almost cried when I buckled up my seat belt and had to tighten it because it was way to loose. I sat comfortably in my seat and didn't feel like I was overflowing into the sit next to me.

I went thru several stalls, increasing my water intake helps. It is hard to getting in in the beginning but in time you will be able to drink more. I am nine months out and have reached my doc goal and fifteen from reaching my goal! This journey is so exciting you can do it. Sometimes, I drink high protein ensure 25 grams of protein. I like vanilla flavor better.

Thanks everyone!!! It's hard to say if I stall often because I stay away from the scale!!! At the beginning I would weigh myself every day morning and night but then I started getting obsessed so I had to stop. Now I weigh myself maybe once or twice a month. But I can really tell in my clothes I bought a size 18 pair of jeans the day before I left to new York and today those jeans are too big on me. My advise to you is work out everyday atleast 45 minutes of cardio eat only food that had nutritional value for your body (lean meats, veggies, fruits) stay away from sugar (except natural sugars like fruit) I don't drink sodas or alcohol I don't eat candy (my favorite) and when I eat I serve myself on a child plate. Sometimes I over serve myself on that child plate but I eat slow and before you know it I'm full and have to throw away food because I can't eat it. So make sure you are paying attention to your serving size. Bad habits are sometimes hard to break but it gets easier just have Yup find away to make it fun for you. Good luck everyone and happy losing!!!!! ;-)

      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!
