1 day before I start my PreOp liquid Diet

7 days Until my Trip

10 days Until my Surgery

9-5-09

Life has a funny way of working?.

People unexpectedly pop into your life

that you never thought you would see again?

I feel happier these days, even more confident then I have in years?

Not afraid to be who I am? excited to think of who I will become?

For as long as I can remember you were there.

You comforted me when I was sad, lonely, bored, depressed.

You held my hand when I was happy;

you were by my side when I was in love.

You laid next to me when I was heartbroken.

You saw me through my worse,

You rewarded me through my best.

But now its time to let you go, and put my dependency for you to rest.

I don?t need you as much as you think I do.

I will not be weak, I will not give into your temptation

The only cravings I will desire is to love myself

The only hungry I will feel is the hunger for success and self assurance

I will no longer look at you as a temporary solution to a complicated emotion

Rather a tool that gives me energy to live a productive life full of devotion

I say farewell to the lonely days that I filled my mouth with meaningless garbage

The evenings where I embraced that second or third helping.

To those nights where I tossed and turned uncomfortably extended

looking at the ceiling emotionally suspended.

I don?t hate you, but I cant count on you to feed my emotions.

I cant count on you to fill the voids that should be filled with motivation, and determination The cracks and crevices that should flow with desire and inspiration.

I don?t want to WANT you I want to NEED you

To give me the energy I need to persevere to enjoy life with out this addiction, And to finally see clear?.

      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!
