3 Months Out My Story



Recommended Posts

In April 2013 I was 265 pounds 5 11" and considered obese 4-6X men's clothing in addition Type 2 Diabetes, High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, 4 Cardiac Stents, COPD. He told me I am a candidate with BMI over 35 with co morbidities. First reaction was no way then thought about it. June 2013 made appointment for Sleeve consultation. Approved, 2 weeks later surgery date 9/6/13. Had no support from wife, children, siblings, nobody. Kept researching and was going to go through it. Was I ready for permanent change for life? New eating patterns, exercise, was starting to question myself "I am not hat type of guy" however most of my issues were due to being overweight. This morning I was 219 pounds I have lost 46 pounds. It is not that hard, I don't put many dietary restrictions on my self just Protein and Water and everything else is secondary. Not as restrictive as I thought, I think Turkey Chili is the key eat 8-10 oz with cheddar cheese (low fat) and low fat sour cream. That is my story

      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!
