My starting weight: 344 07/15/2014

Surgery weight : 292. 11/24/2014

Today's weight : 259. 12/25/2014

I am like everyone else been heavy most of my life. My parents are both type 2 diabetic and so was my mother's parents. I've always kinda worried that I was going to have to take insulin like they do. So started to research options and was luck my insurance company would help me. I just wanted to share with everyone my pictures. The first one is back in September and other one was today. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.

Thanks! I did really good. I picked a few tiny tender pieces off turkey. ( had to taste it) when came time to eat. Had tablespoon of garlic mashed potatoes and couple of bites deviled egg. Wanted other things but stayed away. Was really hard, but didn't want to get sick. Haven't gotten sick yet and don't want to either.

Congratulations on your success so far. You look fantastic! You should be very proud of how far you have come in such a short amount of time.

Isn't it fun to watch the changes and they happen so darn rapidly!

      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!
