I have been going through so many changes with my weight the up and down scale. You try everything but it may work just for a little while, you see yourself as a be big fat person with no will power. I hate people when they say you just need to cut back or why don't you do something about it. People talk but they don't know my story. Sometimes it best to just walk away and pray because people can cut through you and mostly it's your family. Prayer works because I am going for surgery on December 9th. Please pray for me.

@@angewil60 what you say about family is sooooooooooooo true. A lot of people want to criticize but don't want to be advocates when it comes to a solution.

Walking away and praying is really the best you can do. Especially at family gatherings when things can quickly escalate to nuclear levels

Today was hard , thank God I have people like you that really understand all your mind goes through. My family all they see is weight loss and the fact you will weigh less then they, they do not see all what could happen and all the things that you will and are facing. You see my diabetes can be control no more c-pap and many other issues that weight is related to. People don't see that they just think that it's all about just being small. My family some have Han some type of surgery but most have put the weight back on and others just think you are going to lose or look better than they do. I am blessed to have my husband and my children to support me but most of all I have Gods protection all around me. I am very blessed and I am praying for all of us as we go through each day. That we learn to look at our e and learn how to LOVE yourself and your body. Keep you in all my prayers.

      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!
