I've had some coworkers recently warn me "don't lose too much weight! I mean, you're a big guy. You need some weight on your frame."

It's nice. Kind of. But it also made me feel a little angry. I mean, they obviously didn't care much when I was so heavy I had multiple medical conditions - but now, they want me to stay heavy? Why? So they can continue to feel superior to me for being in better health? So they don't have to change their mental picture of me if I'm thin? It's amazing how one person making a positive change can draw out dysfunction in everyone else.

I would also, at the next party function beat them to the punch and announce your surgery.

Put yourself before they do and give them a taste of their own medicine I say

I was talking to my husband today. He brought up his mom was planning to have another surgery. She's one of those people who if the dr says surgery is a last option she will push and push until she gets the surgery even if it's really not needed. She loves the attention and sympathy. Well my husband said his dad was telling him yesterday his mom has started mentioning WLS for herself. I knew that even tho my surgery was "stupid" she would eventually get jealous enough to try to go that route herself just for the attention. I told my husband part of me really wants to throw all her rude unkind words back in her face, but I'm not stooping to her level. I just won't say anything all Bc that will eat her up even more.

      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!
