Thanks all for condolences. We are all in shock, so sudden, so young. Well, tomorrow is sleeve day for me. I have made my Soups (tofu makes a Soup creamy but is protein), bought my drinks, dogs are suspicious as both are wearing collars, cats arent worried so long as they get fed. I am nervous but have all of you as inspiration, so what is my affirmation going in? 'My body is going to love this'. Let you know how I go.

Hi all, i am now 7 hours post op and only lost my dignity, lol. Op a success and as an added bonus repaired an unknown hernia while in the neighborhood! I was really scared pre op and did my meditation breathing and chose to watch the acquarium fish loop rather than tv as following one liilt fish mesmerised me. Full cocktail of drugs in me so only discomfort. Been up once to little girls room. Drew on your support and got teary when parked prior to theatre. Surgeon came in limping and holding his back but very bright and confident. Seems he has done a good job and hospital is good. Might have a nap now. Affirmation, being wheeled into theatre, What makes you think God woulnt set aside a little time to look after you? You are importantto Him too. Thanks for the TLC.

I am so glad you made it to the other side (with or without your dignity).

Yes, you are important to Him and to us, too!

To select an affirmation I look for the most glaring defect in myself and think of how I would like to become.

Since I have a history of incest, one of my favorites is:

"I am safe."

As for my process, I get an empty note book and write the affirmation down and anything else that pops up.

If I have negative self talk, I cross out the negatives and continue to write my affirmation.

I do this until I can write a full page with no negatives.

Then it becomes 'mine' and I say the affirmation to myself out loud while I am walking.

Some of my favorite affirmations are:

I am a beautiful and loving woman.

I am capable and dependable.

I walk in balance and harmony.

People really like to be around me.

I am a healer and a peacemaker.

Today is fabulous.

I always had a lot of regrets about my past, and I carried a heavy load figuratively and literally. I think for many years I felt like I was a walking mistake. My favorite affirmation is: God doesn't make mistakes.

      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!
