Yet Another Silly Success



Recommended Posts

we have a nice dodge durango..but for the last year or so, it was hard for me drive it....i am short so i have to scoot my seat up to the steering wheel...and my belly/girth would not let me get near the steering wheel so i had to scoot the seat back and

then i couldnt reach the pedals...but i could drive it without the seat belt and so if i did drive it, it was to the walgreens near my house and it was not very often let me tell you.

so today, my car that i drive to work (didnt start as hub said we need a new battery)

so i had to drive the durango....i was nervous because i knew i could not wear the seat belt.

i got in *prepared for the worst* and scooted the seat up to where my feet would reach and pulled the seat belt and snapped that sucker in.. i felt like a normal person..instead of the usual fat lady.

so that is my little success...nothing major....but i drove to work in my truck with my seat belt on and it fit comfortably and not cutting off my circulation....another sign that i am going in the right direction.

hope you are too.

Love your silly success stories! This is a good one. Keep them coming!

Picturing you with your nose to the steering wheel and your short little legs dangling over the seat is priceless.

But that just makes it further to the pedals! Is he going to raise them?

      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!
