6 monthe post op and the beat goes on...



Recommended Posts

I am six months post sleeve gastrectomy and I am down to 229! This last month has been rough for me. I lost my my father at the end of April and my body responded by snacking and comfort eating. I gained back up to 238 from 233, but worked very hard the last two weeks to get my weight back down and it looks like I'm back on track. I have accomplished so much this year and I can't give up. I ran my first 5k, yes I ran the ENTIRE thing, in just under 45 minutes! I have hiked many trails. I am proud, and I know my dad is proud of me too. My biggest regret is I never got to run with him. He was an avid runner and very healthy. But I know he runs with me every time I run now.

You look amazing. I plan to do a 5k in December. Can I ask what your starting weight was?

My starting weight was 310. I recommend using c25k app for training for a 5k. It's great!

      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!
