I am in the first month of my 6 month wait for insurance purposes. I Houghton would start this month right and start changing habits - eating better, getting back into an exerfise routine and instead I've been eating every damn thing in sight! I need to snap out of it... I need to find some discipline.

My advice -- open a www.myfitnesspal.com, don't make friends with anyone on it (that way, only you see it) and use that tool to plan and record your meals and everything you eat and drink.

That's what I did pre-op, and it was such an eye-opener.

If you want to acquire a healthier lifestyle, you certainly can. Many have done it before, me included.

This can be done. :)

@@Jessica Ellison-Correa - try dipping the fork in the dressing and then taking a bite of salad. Butter is a bit trickier u can try the I cannot believe its not butter spray, but I just as soon do without. I season my food with other things like chili powder, pepper, etc...

      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!
