Sleeved 03/24. Down 67 lbs and 13 lbs to my goal. Much slower now and I'm finding I am able to eat a little more than before so I have to really pay attention and make sure I use smaller plates etc.

Yea I ate a whole grilled chicken sandwich the other day. Surprised me. I need to back off of the junk I'm eating.

@@heav85 Sucks to already be having issues. Old habits are so hard to break - continue to be aware and work on it.

You can do it!!

The Last picture is a little old (from September) but I'm only 3 lbs away from my goal. I'm in a size 11. I'm really happy where I'm at and wouldn't care if I lost the last 3 lbs! :) Very proud of all of us. Way to go!

Well...I'm nervous to say, but in a very determined way my surgery date is March 22 at 11am!!! My bday is the 6th so I turn 30 then 2 days later start my journey. I start my 2 week liquid diet which I really need a buddy to keep sane or buddies!!!! I'm starting off nearly 390 lbs and about a 56 waist in polo jeans I'm border line diabetic and high cholesterol with bad legs lets cross our fingers and pray that after following my meals and good exercise as a dad of 2 super awesome kids my boy 4 and my girl at 7 months at 31 my next birthday I will be a bit healthier and here to stay a lot longer for these kidos!!!! And I wanna be ridiculously good looking again lol #bluesteel

A year ago today, my life changed... call it a second chance. I want to give a huge shout out to the wonderful People at A Lighter Me, for making this change possible... I am still about 15 pounds from my goal weight, but feel with a little extra effort on my part, those pounds will fade away, as well!!! I also want to wish a Happy Surgiversary to my surgery sisters and brothers, who share today as the day their lives were changed! And to all those, waiting to have surgery or having had surgery recently.... it is life changing!!! Enjoy the experience, take notes, take pictures and soon the metamorphosis will be complete!!! Happy March!!!

      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!
