Orientation meeting freaked me out!



Recommended Posts

We called food our friend. But with friends like that, who needs enemies? :rolleyes: Only thing my old "friend" did for me was make me fat, tired, bloated, lethargic, stupid headed and miserable. If it had been a human, I'd have unfriended it and stopped calling, years ago. B) I unfriended food but sometimes it makes a new account under a new name and sneaks back in and stalks me. chips, crackers. Frakking sliders. Gah! They are my kryptonite. They are my food jail. I need to remember to channel Bandista. :D

Hi all,

I'm over at the VGS forum now (can't get lap band), and I wanted to say that I started the super scary pre-op diet a little over a week ago. It's not so bad! I actually have not been truly hungry at all! I have had a few small fights with "head hunger", but so far I have won each battle. This is pretty huge!

Thanks for the support! Health & happiness to all!

      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!
