This Morning I was dyeing what is left of my hair to match my hair piece and feeling just a tad sorry for myself. Then as I looked at my hair all plastered against my head with dye, I stopped for minute and and thought how striking it was that I look much like my friends who are going through chemo. I have friend with breast cancer and one with ovarian cancer and have lost one to gall bladder cancer. Suddenly it put it all in perspective for me. I HAVE NOT LOST! I have gained health, energy, sexy, sassiness, ,athletic abilities, health, weight loss, life. REALLY what is hair compared to what my friends have lost?????? Not only have they lost body parts, ( very defining body parts) health, time on earth yet they go out and sport their naked heads without shame!

How dare I mourn the loss of some hair when they have lost all theirs and so much much more!

      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'. ???

        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.

      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!
