I don't have any questions, just need to be honest and be held accountable. What better way to do that than to share with you guys and gals.

Let a rough day get to me that ended up in me buying a slice of chocolate cake. Being six weeks post op, thankfully my sleeve stopped me after just a few bites, but I am so disappointed in myself.

I just can't believe I let myself get to that point and I really hope it doesn't continue.

We all make mistakes. Being honest with yourself (and us) is a great step.

We all have to learn and practice new habits, attitudes, and skills.

I bet the cake didn't taste nearly as good as you thought it would. I just hope it doesn't make you sick. (Just the thought of all that sugar makes me a little ill.)

Next time, try reaching out to us before you take the first bite.

I am proud of you for stopping - for reaching out and for reminding yourself what you want. Those are all good signs!

I gotta agree with the ladies before me...

Ok, so you had some cake...

We all screw up...

Our brains are pretty smart at tricking us...

But you've acknowledged it and made yourself accountable for it...

The next step is to not beat yourself up about it...

And, as @@Inner Surfer Girl says...

Come in here any time you feel like you're gonna cave...

There's always someone to kick your arse if you need it...

@@Inner Surfer Girl it wasn't. After the 3rd bite, I fell hard back into reality.

I hate to waste food, but I didn't think twice about tossing it in the trash.

And thanks @@Christinamo7 and @@KindaFamiliar I'm very upset with myself but I'm glad to know I have the support on here, instead of the judgement that I would receive in the outside world.

      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!
