71 Pounds Lost (Pics) In Less Than 3 Months!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, and wow I did not know verticalsleevetalk turned into bariatricpal! I haven't been online in ages because I've been so busy in "real life" with work and school. I was always in denial, and still am, about my weight loss. I always put on clothes and ran off without even looking in the mirror so I rely on pictures to remind myself of what I used to look like. I am still wearing clothes that I did at my heaviest but instead of being so tight my skin looks red when I take them off - they are much looser and I can pull them off without unzipping LOL.
Here is my first progress - 71 pounds lost since August 15th. I took this second photo a week ago -

Is it stomach or incision? I had incision pain for about 2 and a half weeks and mild "stomach" pain. You are still early out so your body is trying to adjust but if you feel like something is wrong I would call a doctor. It's better to be safe than sorry.

      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!
