Overdue encouragement post



Recommended Posts

I have not posted lately. Between work, a funeral, and a slowly moving scale I have just not taken the time to write. However, enough of that crap! So I wanted to say to each of you fine friends out there, chin up! We are making our dreams happen! Sure the scale can be an a$$ and people not get it, however the flip side is we have made a drastic choice that really works!!!!!! to take control of our life and personal issues with food and do something to wrench control from our stomach and finally become on the outside who we are on the inside!

What an amazing journey. Each of us are experiancing the things we dreamed of for years, and finding it even more marvelous than we imagined! So drink the dang fluids, eat some more Protein, stay focused!

This is just the prelude to a glorious future that may have it's own issues but where we will have the strength and energy to chase our dreams and win!!! Love you all

Pasquini!

Amen, We do sometimes lose focus. You are right, we are very blessed. My life has changed so much in the last 4 months, it is a great journey. I think we get caught up sometimes in some negatives such as the scale not moving as fast as we would like. We have to remember, this is not a sprint, it is a lifelong marathon.

      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!
