I recently went to the doctor (after being sick for like 2 months even though I had finished the prescription he gave me earlier) and it feels like both my doctor and his staff are nicer to me since they found out about my surgery. I knew my doc had a bias against heavier people (one of those oh something is wrong? Its cus youre fat! guys) but now he seems kinda proud its weird. He even lectured me after my mom called me out for not getting in enough calories since she found out i went a few days eating less than 300 calories a day (im working on it). Im only down like 40 lbs but im starting to feel the difference in the way im treated. Weird

Side note being lectured on getting more calories in was surreal! Felt like I was some anorexic chick refusing to eat or something. Lol its not that im refusing to eat its just hard to get the calories but im trying.

K weird ranting post over :)

haha This is so funny because I went to see my PA for my annual physical and in the past I may have called her some names that weren't very nice!? She was so nice to me now that I quit smoking and had surgery! She seemed very impressed with the changes...it might be a little frustrating to see a 300 plus pound smoker for breathing problems on a regular basis? lol Anyway, I am giving her another chance now and I am also feeling way better about myself! :)

      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.

      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!
