One year today



Recommended Posts

Today was my day one year ago. It doesn't seem like that long. I have lost 90 lbs and have I still have 40 more that I wanna loose. I have learned so much in a year. The most important is Portion Control. Its amazing how much I would eat before and how little you truely need. I would do the surgery again in a heart beat. I still have a long road ahead of me it feels like to get where I really wanna be but I will get there. I have to remember my doctor told me that this is a life long journey not soemthing that you fix over night or in just a year. My goal is to hit one hundred lbs loss by the end of January and I can do it!!

DaCoop, I went to a Xmas brunch Sunday and of course, there was tons of food of all kinds. It was amazing how much food people piled on their plates, but the most amazing thing was the bite sizes. OMG, I saw forks full of food that would have stuck me up for two days I'm sure. I look at the size of each bite I take now and I'm amazed at how well I've adapted, but disappointed it took me so long to figure it out.LOL

Merry Christmas

Congrats!!! My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday. Had my pre-op Friday and I was a little taken back that I was told I couldn't eat anything but Clear Liquids on Christmas Day!!! Were you told the same?? I was expecting nothing after midnight. I don't think I would of scheduled it for the day after Christmas if that was told to me at time of scheduling. I plan on calling the office on Monday because when I called Friday they were already closed. The nurse at pre surgical office couldn't tell me why so I'm a little confused. If you have any insight I'd appreciate it. Btw I can't wait to be where you are now. I bet you feel fantastic.

      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.

        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!
