Let me know what moderation is for you.

Specifically around this Halloween candy. Is it a tiny piece each day? One day where u indulge?

Im so newly post-op n candy in the house is such a big temptation. I was hoping i would be repulsed by it. I hope, as i get time under my belt with no sugar ( 1 goal i set for myself), i will feel less drawn toward it.

I dont want to be the sole failure of the world with this surgery. I know some peeps eat what they want n the restriction keeps their weight in check......

Your thoughts?

First, we are sugery twins :-) YAY! I am really struggling with the candy in the house. I started a thread boasting about my willpower, and yesterday I broke down and ate a Resees PB cup. It was the first piece of candy I had. It was the first piece of food I have had since my surgery and after hosting a Halloween party for teenagers filled with party food of every sort. The candy is still calling my name and it won't shut up. I told it to get out of my house but it didn't listen. We have a wheelbarrel full of it due to over-zealous trick-or-treating kiddos from my house. I gave a bag of it to a lady at the park today, made my son go home and get it LOL. The struggle is real. I have also pondered this question and hope I am not the poster child of failure either. What I have come up with is this: as soon as I am allowed, I will work in a treat for myself, ..and maybe even everyday, a very small one albeit, because, just that 1 Resees peanutbutter did wonders for my morale, (lol), it was enough, made me happy dance,, AND...::wait for it::: and I didnt want anymore!!! and that made me happy: a win win.

So for me, treats will not be out of the question. For me, I am grateful to be able to eat 1 and feel satisfied, a completely new sensation lol.

      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!
