I try and do other things. I don't want to go back to the weight I was before so when I really get stressed I go for a walk. I put my headphones in and walk. Gives me something else to concentrate on. Oh I want the junk food and especially when I'm really stressed but I don't want to step back. If I have to get something then I try and eat fruit.

I learned to paint my nails really well and do nail art. I'm still pre-op but I wanted something that wasn't "go shopping" or "go get a pedicure" because my life is too stressful to be able to afford that stuff all the time LOL. So painting nails is something cheap... and you can't eat during obviously, and you also can't eat after because either your nails are still wet or they reek of nail polish/acetone. Very effective lol. I am a "peeler" so I now do my nails 2-3x a week to prevent myself from peeling them.

I browse Pinterest for healthy recipes! I also lurk on bariatric pal and reply to every post I can. Trying to support others. Also I will eat a sf popsicle of in really needing to munch. We keep at least 2 boxes on hand- that way I get liquids and my sweet fix . So far I haven't had more than 3 in one day. Usually 1.

      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!
