Hey you!

Why are you still sitting out there “thinking” about having Weight Loss Surgery? I know you are sure you should be able to lose the weight on your own! Well, if this were really true you would have done it by now. Some of us have lost it, to only regain it back again, and then we beat ourselves up over doing this. You have a disease, and it is called fat, fluffy, overweight, and obese. We can call it whatever name we want, but it is a disease. If you had any other disease you would go to a Doctor immediately. Well, this is a disease, because we are unable for many reasons to gain control over it. There is NO shame in having weight loss surgery. It is NOT the easy way out! It does require work and effort on your part. However it is the answer for many people.

You are going to kill yourself faster from using your fork putting this food in your mouth all day long. What are you scared about? It is OK to be scared, I was too. We have an addiction for food, and we use food to self-medicate for 100’s of reasons. I know I have been where you are right now. 4 ½ years ago I had weight loss surgery, and I lost 105 pounds and I have kept it off. I urge you to consider taking back your life and putting yourself in control of “YOU” again. There is nothing that feels as good as being healthy, and to eat well.

Please stop and care for yourself enough to change your life. I am always out here to answer all your questions and help you with anything you might want to know. It is OK to ask lots of questions, and you should do that! I was the lady with at least 1,000 questions.

I love this quotes: “"Don't sacrifice your future for a momentary pleasure" Stop and think about this quote for just a few moments.

      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.

        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!
