On the road again and pain free yay



Recommended Posts

Good evening everyone !!

Hope you're doing great this very lovely day ,, I'm so excited to be healed and free of pain without taking meds !! I'm back on the road again and it feels wonderful!! My buddy and I walked our 2.5 miles ths morning at 7:00 am without a problem I wanted to go around again.... But I went home and walked another 2 miles with my hubby and the boys felt great !! Went shopping and drove by myself for the first time since May 24th.it took me 9 days to heal and able to start walking again . Tomorrow. I'll start the day walking with my hubby and the boys ,my friend has the pre op appointment she starts her diet on the 5th and surgery on the 20th. She'll have the sleeve . Downtime might be the same as mine, I'm not sure but while she recovering I'll start my long walks which is 7.5 miles one way and have my hubby. Pick me up at the end. My plan is to do the DFW marathon in Dec ,I did it in 2007 ,2008, and 2009 twice , so I just have to talk my buddy into doing it with me or volunteering ,it's nice when you can do it with someone you know. Oh if you're wondering no I don't run anymore , I walk all the way .i had knee surgery on both knees in 2010 that's when my fat issue began ,couldnt walk,therapy wasn't going well, depressed, miserable ,just mad and disappointed in myself and my Drs .in other words I was throwing a giant pity party stuffing my face with all kinds of nasty, gross greasy, fatty foods But now I'm back ,my AC ,and meniscus has healed I'm ready to beat my previous times!!! Weather was great here a little warm but nice, I'm still in the liquid stage so I got all How could I have miss sweet Olivia's Birthday ;( happy 1st Birthday sweet baby ,many many many more!! liquids in and Protein ,I soooooo sick of cottage cheese ,applesauce , Protein drinks , Popsicles , and yogurt !, can't wait until Friday !! Something solid in my mouth after 3 weeks . Well everyone have a peaceful sleep ;)

Great job. After purees I was soooo ready for solid foods too! Good luck and glad to meet you! I totally understand how medical issues can affect weight. I became disabled after heart surgery in 200 and I really gained weight. Glad you are doing better!

      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!
