BeLiteWeight is so proud to share the outstanding one year story of our Gastric Sleeve patient Tonia! Her story and photos are truly incredible:
Today marks one year since my gastric sleeve surgery in Tijuana. Having any type of surgery is a pretty big deal and this was no different. However, after researching through the BeLiteWeight website, talking with Sylvia from the company, and researching on my own there was no doubt that undergoing either bypass or sleeve surgery was going to be the best decision for me. Like so many people, I am a professional weight loser. I have lost hundreds, but also gained back hundreds over the years. Although there have been some bumps in the road, I still believe it was the best decision for me. I continue my journey in finding what foods work best for me, the amount of sugar that is ok before I start to feel nauseous but what someone with chronic low blood sugar needs, and how to get all the water in each day that my body needs combined with living in the middle of the desert. I have invested in lots of very small food storage containers that I can divide meals into and freeze, and I suggest this to anyone as not to waste meals and help with portion control. This has proved so helpful and easy for meals on the go. I know that my life has changed forever. I still am working on portion control when I'm not eating one of my frozen meals, still working on getting to a gym, but still loving shopping in the juniors section! I am so happy to report that as of today I have gone from 280lbs to 146lbs/size 26 to a size 8. Thank you BeLiteWeight! Tonia R - Phoenix, AZ
