So sorry to hear about the bad experiences. I firmly believe everything happens for us and not to us. I've been through a lot myself. What I know for sure is I am in charge of my thoughts. I can choose to suffer or focus on what I want and take steps each day in that direction. I get up everyday and journal my thoughts. Anything that is bothering me, regardless of what it is. Then I stop and listen. For years I've been guided on how to think and proceed. Then I write down and say my positive affirmations. Hope that helps! It's changed my life direction for the last 20 years into a great ones!

Sorry to hear about your challenges, but I'm so glad that you're still here to voice your concerns with us! I know walking is boring at times, but it is the only form of exercise that you can really do right now. Start slowly, and walk through the pain; without further injuring yourself of course! I started off with very short 5 minute walks and woked my way up to an hour, although my nurse said that was too much at one time. She said that I only need to walk 15-20 mins at a time a couple times a day. Walking makes me feel better, but like you, I have a hard time getting motivated to do it everyday. I try to walk around the stores instead, a little more interesting than walking down the street with my IPod!

I really hope you can get moving soon, I know that you will feel better and heal faster once you do; plus the weight comes off a lil quicker and muscle mass multiplies more as well! :)

Be well!

      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!
