Nancy;s new adventure



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, just want to say how much I appreciate the posts. I am now 2 weeks post op and I met my first goal. I am at 300lbs. (22 lbs. down since prior to surgery!!!) Only 120 lbs more , but if it goes this easy I am hoping I will be an improved version of myself, healthier and better looking. I finished my antibiotics today, the skin infection is healing up, still reddened.

Thank you

Congrats on your surgery and your recovery.

I'm 5 months post op and I have found that before surgery I eat to much and gained weight now I have to eat to lose weight ( go figure).

There will be times when the scale won't move for days or weeks but that does not mean your body is not changing.

Do what the doctors say and you will be fine

My only other bit if wisdom I can bestow is join myfitnesspal.com and track everything you eat or drink it does help.

And stay off the scale only weight your self 1 time a week. The reason being if you don't see the scale moving you may stop eating and that's not good. That only puts your body into starvation mode and your body holds on to what ever you eat and will use muscle for energy instead of fat.

Take your Protein exercise and best of all enjoy the new you your going to love it

Hey Paul, do you know how to modify amounts on my fitness pal? For instance, this am I had a 1/2 scrambled egg, but the only choice is 1 scrambled egg. Just curious.

      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!
