Passed surgeon's goal at 6 1/2 months

Passed personal goal at 7 1/2 months

Still losing at 8 1/2 months, even though I am ready to stop. Wanna finally buy some new clothes!

The honeymoom phase ended for me around the 1 year mark. I did not stop losing weight, but I had to be more vigilant about the things I was eating and the amounts. The Sleeve does not have an on/off switch :P and you can continue to use it as a tool to lose weight as long as you would like. After a year, I found myslef slipping into old habits, like eating out of boredom or grazing throughout the day. Frankensleeve still works, it was me that had gotten off track.

But take as much advantage of the Honeymood period as possible. This will be the time when it's the easiest to lose weight and get into good eating habits. Your new Sleeve will still have the most restriction (before it is completely healded and the swelling has gone down) and your metablism won't have had a chance to adjust to the new lower caloric intake.

      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.

        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!
