Kids say the darndest things!



Recommended Posts

A few weeks ago when I was picking my 7 year old daughter up from school, she pointed to one of the other moms and said, "see her mom, you look exactly like her and she's not fat"!

Then yesterday, we were shopping, I had my back to her and when I looked up to find her she had a scared look on her face. She said, "oh mom, you're getting so skinny I didnt recognize you"! I think she was looking for me for a few seconds and didn't know it was me right beside her. Poor girl. I scared her. Makes me feel good though!

I've been a little down since the new year because the scale has been moving very slow. But I did start using my new Pilates machine, so I guess the inches are still coming off.

I have to say, this is a far cry from the child, who a year ago, while looking in the mirror asked, "mom, am I gonna look like you when I grow up? I said, "I don't know why? She said, "because mom, I just can't be fat! Broke my heart.

I had this sergury for many reasons, my kids being the main one. Glad to say, i made the right choice.

Awesome story. My daughter tells everyone about my surgery..she is 5. She says my mom is going to have surgery so she can play outside with me more. Kinda makes me feel bad..but at least I am on the right track now. I am gonna make her proud.

      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!
