Well, it has been a beautiful week here in Greensboro and Winston Salem, great weather (compared to Seattle:-D), great food and good business. Thank you North Carolina! Back home today, I miss my DH, my son and my fuzzy family members too!

Funny you ask, North Carolina was great, I loved everywhere we went, but unfortunately I found out that or of my credit card purchases resulted in a scam of my credit card and a fraudulent purchase two days after I was home. Luckily the transaction was rejected and I received the fraud text and have since canceled the card. They tried to buy $350 of stuff at a drug store. But otherwise NC was great!

Hopefully you were able to enjoy some of our great barbeque while you were here in NC! I have found that in addition to being a good source of Protein, if done properly it is also very tender and 'band friendly' so long as you chew like you are supposed to! Glad you enjoyed being in our state and I am sorry for the one scumbag who tarnished your trip!

Thanks! I didn't get to eat any bar-b-que this time, but I did get have one of my southern favorites, grits! You just don't find grits in restaurants in the Pacific Northwest. So far the credit card thing has been mostly painless, I am chalking it up to "stuff happens"

      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!
