Thanks guys! I've barely exercised since my surgery so I weigh less, but I'm out of shape now lol.

Do you have any physical ailments preventing you from exercising? If not, you should definitely start trying to fit in more exercise or at least physical activity. It will be critical in maintenance and likely make losing the last 50 pounds a little easier too.

Oh yes I completely agree! No the only thing keeping me from exercising is myself. I did workout on Friday and am about to do another workout in just a minute. My goal for this week is to exercise 2x between Monday and Friday and then next week I'll up it to 3x. I think if I try to do much more than that, I'll be too sore to moveI work on the weekends and get about 10,000-16,000 steps in on each of those two days so I think I'm good to go on exercise on Sat and Sun lol

One healthy decision at a time is what I believe.

Well it's been 3 years since I posted, and thought I'd share my experience with those beginning their journey. My surgery was October 31, 2012, and I was 305 pounds. Now I'm 190 pounds. I can eat pretty much as a normal person, but with a small little governor on my stomach. I still avoid breads and starches, because they fill me up so fast. I have completely embraced the healthy fitness oriented lifestyle. Everything in my life is better than before. My piece of wisdom after all this, is that the sleeve will provide a good jump start, but if you don't take ownership of your body, success will be short lived. Good luck to everyone. The first two pics are from 2011, the last is from this week.

      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'. ???

        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!
