Doing better than I was. N down 36lb.

I go Tomoro to find out my labs. :/ my family dr. has already told me to drink more. Which is hard for me. I'm just not a big drinker. But i'm doing better. Today was the first day I got to go back to the Ymca n I got in the pool n just took it slow today.

How are you?

Had a scare with crippling stomach pain and vomiting. After a trip to the ER and many tests later, the doctors determined it to be excess acid. I wasn't taking my liquid antacid because I wasn't having acid reflux. Apparently, I'm supposed to take it every day anyways. I've been taking it and feel great!

On a positive note, I'm down 37 lbs and have taken up Zumba. I couldn't do Zumba 37 lbs ago because my feet hurt so bad.

      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!
