Any tips for emotional eating.... Dealing with a lot of stress! Two months out and two fills now. Really struggling! Any suggestions!

Just don't do it unless you want to stay fat. I know that seems like an uncaring opinion but it isn't... It's truthful and honest

Life will always throw something at you you can't control. Your weight isn't one of them... So dig deep, recommit yourself and make it happen"

Honestly, everyone is right. I'm also under a lot of stress, having a dad in stage 4 cancer, and he is the caregiver of my mom, who I think has a touch of dementia or alzherimers.

Nonetheless, my point is, as mentioned above, life will always throw us curve balls. Having been banded, we need to decide how to react to that. It might not be easy, but you have to gain control. Post here for support. This group is awesome. Also, track your food on MFP (mitfitnessplan.com). Great way to stay focused & be aware what we're eating.

Another option is to see your primary Dr, and see if he/she thinks you might benefit from taking an anti-depressant. You never know, it might just be the thing you need to helo you deal with life's stresses right now.

Good luck! And remember, we're all here to support each other! You can do it!

      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!
