Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Well I think I am finally at my goal. It's been 5 1/2 months since my surgery. It's been wonderful! With the exception of the first two weeks post op when I thought I was going to die. post-221807-14234327462731_thumb.jpg

Today just for the fun of it I went and tried on clothes at the store. I used to hate to shop. Now when I look at something on the hanger I think that will never fit me. I try it on and it does. I love my sleeve. One of the best decisions of my life.

Thank you....this forum is about the only place I can post pictures, if I do it on FB it seems like "friends" have something to say negative. I personally think they are jealous. Well that's my story anyway.

Of course they're jealous! It didn't take you long to reach your goal. My I ask your stats? HW, SW, and CW? Age too maybe? ???? I'm having surgery on the 18th. I'm 53 and about 125 lbs overweight

I am working on the maintenance portion now. Talked to my NUT last week. I am a bit freaked out about not seeing the scale move down. It has been a big part of my life, I don't want to fail. I have never had a stall in this entire process. A steady moving down on the scale. So I don't know what it is like to not lose when I get on the scale. I am still losing about .2 pounds a day. I know I need to eat more. I no longer eat fat free cheese. I am trying to eat more like a normal person. What are your maintenance plans?

HW 289, SW 229. CW 150 height 5'9 got all Protein and Water in since about week two. Little to no Hair loss (THANK YOU GOD) and I didn't have any stalls. I am 52 years old 51 at time of surgery. Exercised regularly mostly cardio in the first six months. More focused on weight training now.

      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!
