It's Thursday Thinker Time!



Recommended Posts

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it still make a sound? Probably, but the world will never know!

Thursday Thinker is pretty simple, here's how it works... Post a topic, question, quote, whatever, for all of us to think about for the day. Again, sleeve related or not. And if you want to open up a dialog about your thinker or someone elses thinker, please post a separate thread for it so we can all enjoy the thinkers here ;-)

Enjoy!

I posted "Does the Mirror Lie to You?" I thought it was really interesting reading with a lot of great ways to connect our mind with our body, especially when we have a picture of our old body in our mind. It was so good. ;)

Sometimes the mirror shows me a younger, thinner version of myself because that's the image I have in my head. The big shocker is when I see a picture of myself looking so bloated. Getting better though.

Catracks you are so right. I always see a younger version of myself and realize I need to work on this. I am learning to love myself in many different ways. I realize that I avoid looking at myself in the mirror up to now and have consciously been looking in the mirror now. I am taking new pictures or myself (in my mind's eye) to reflect back. ;)

One thing I have always and still struggle with is that I will dress up, makeup on, hair done..feeling so good about myself but then when I get to where I'm going,,I feel very insecure and not so pretty. I've done this since I was young and thinner and as my larger self. I don't know why. Does anyone else do this and do you have any suggestions as to how I can stop that?

      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!
