Take lots of walks on the beach. Anytime you start to feel tempted, walk away and go for a walk. You will be fine, enjoy your vacation.

the only thing i can say is (if you want to eat junk food or cheap fast/slider food, just dont do it). think of what you have done so far to get here......is it worth it to eat potato chips or mcdonalds? is it??

no i dont think so. this is a mind game. you either choose to eat healthy or you dont.

and you know i will kick your butt if you screw up

I live about 30 min from Galveston and there is some fabulous seafood there that you can eat and not feel guilty!

Just remember everything grilled!

Stay away from bread and sugar!

Order any fish, shrimp, crab, etc with veggies

Try to ask for no butter or salt when you can

Use my fitness pal or lookup calories on the restaurants website.

You can do this, you are a strong person. You have come this far and don't want to go back. Good luck, and enjoy your vacation! Karen

      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!
