thank you so much. I bought the one with the starfish and it wasnt really what I was wanting. I just purchased the one you first referred first. It is cheaper to download them to a kindle app on my phone. faster too.

What about the starfish one did you not like? I want to buy the best ones out there and if that's not what I am looking for, I will remove it from my list.

It talked about different stuff like "how you cope with Depression" or identity confusion, or urge to overeat ect. but it was just stuff that we know. Common sence stuff Exp: start a journal, go to support groups and how to find them. Im not really sure what I'm looking for but that just wasn't it.

The Emotional First Aid Kit is a great book. I bought it last week and read it in 2 days. I only wish that I would have bought a paperback copy (I would like to be able to highlight some of it). I'll read it again soon.

      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!
