This is a longer one, but so powerful..I've had this on my fridge for years (along with sev. others, as I am somewhat of a quote collector : )

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."

That line.... Who are you not to be???? Hit me to the core.... I can be talented, healthier, even pretty? I haven't allowed myself to feel pretty for years. I find that now that my face has slimmed down.... I want to wear makeup. I want pretty earrings....I want a new hairstyle. Thanks fellow "Quote Collector."

These are wonderful! Thanks so much for this thread. Here's my contribution -- wish I had the source but it's long forgotten. And Parisshel may need to give me a French lesson!

"Faire et se taire" which is roughly translated as Shut Up And Get On With It! Maybe I'll tape that one across the top of my treadmill.

My favorites

Dont be afraid to give yourself everything you've ever wanted in life

Dont expect everyone to understand your journey especially if they've never walked on your path

Sometimes the strongest people are the ones who love beyond all faults, cry behind closed doors, and fight battles that nobody knows about

      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!
