My Journey- 240 to 123.



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Bella. I've lost about 120 pounds from 150 highest to 123 today.

I had my sleeve surgery dec 2015.

Still getting used to this new way of eating. There are definitely ups and downs.

I've been through a lot but I would do it again!!!

Some pictures of me along the way.

I haven't had any plastic surgery and have a little bit of loose skin on my belly and I'd like a Tummy Tuck someday. There is a little on my legs arms and neck also but it's really mild and doesn't bother me, I don't need plastics there.

Wow, you have been through and are going through a lot. Thank you so much for sharing your story. What I find the most inspiring is that even with all the pain and turmoil of your experience, your optimism shines through. I am so glad to hear that you are continuing to use the support of a therapist and have not given up.

By the way, you look great, too.

Please keep us updated on how you are doing.

      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!
