My Gastric Sleeve Story



Recommended Posts

My surgery was on December 10, 2013. My weight was 265, today I went to my doctor and my weight is 231 YEA!!!!.. Today is the first day I can eat food if that is what you want to call it. On the way home my husband stop off at KFC and I got mashed potatoes. Just the smell and knowing I can eat that was wonderful. Just a couple of teaspoons but wow!!!!

My journey begin to get to the weight when I got married. I hope no I will get to that weight.

My surgeon Dr. Houseworth in Washington.

First off: Congrats - that is a huge weightloss. Ny question is were you consistent on the intake of your Protein? I am struggling taking in my Protein and I am wondering if this plays a role in the amount of weight I am/will lose.

Can you or anyone assist?

Currently I do about 400 calories a day!! I still can't eat much yesterday was my first time eating two meals Soup for lunch and fish for dinner!!! I only can do about 1/4 cup of soup and maybe 2 ounces of fish and 1 ounce of sweet potato!!! It will happen!!! It takes longer for some!!! This week I'm sure I didn't loose anywhere near 16 pounds!! At first it's a lot of Water weight!!! I told my self I will only weigh myself once a month so I won't become obsessed with it!!

      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!
