I'm tired!!



Recommended Posts

I'm tired of trying to loss weight with no success. I always said that I would never have any weigh loss surgery, but after thinking that something has got to give I'm planning to go to a seminar soon. I am scared of complications, failing, etc. I'm severly overweight and have hypertension I have a child with special needs that I need to live for so I must do something. I have no one I feel I can turn to. My mind is all over the place. I have read some posts and learned a few things that have answered a few questions for me. Any tips or words for support or encouragement.

If you are just starting out I would advise you to do a lot of research. Definitely go to the seminar. Get the book "Bandwagon" which is pretty informative. It's time to put yourself first. If you keep giving and giving without replenishing yourself you just get very drained and burn yourself out. It's nver too late to turn your life completely around and take the wheel and steer it in a new direction. You owe this to yourself and you CAN do this! Best of luck on your journey!

These forums can be so helpful and encouraging. You have a whole support system/family, right here at your finger tips! It's an amazing thing!

WLS is not for everyone but if your like me, someone who has struggled and finally got to a point where you KNEW something had to be done, then this may just be right up your alley. Good luck on your journey and if you do or don't decide to get WLS, we're always here to answer any questions you may have :)

Go to your seminar and see how you feel after. Sending LOTS of good vibes your way!

      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.

      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!
