I stopped smoking cigarettes ( 30 plus years smoking). I actually never really liked pot. I found it made me feel stupid but I smoked hashish instead. Different high it could function on it. In highschool I would get high listen to Rush and do homework all throughout grade 11& 12. Those were my two years of my best marks( not a joke but 80s& 90s were constantly my marks then...

I stopped cigarettes (2006)and also unconsciously stopped smoking hash also. Don't miss it and feel great. Definitely clearer thoughts and my lung function has vastly improved. Here in Canada a smoker would not qualify for bypass surgery so if you wanted in to the Program you have to stop. I am very glad I did. Bypass surgery has given me an opportunity to reset myself. I have Improved my eating habits, health, and overall well being. Sometimes you just have to make changes and stick to them. They are not easy choices and successes big or small will help character development.

I recommend you should do the things that best help you succeed in your weight loss journey, smoking and drinking are things that will lower your opportunities at truly being your best. My struggle right now is I like to eat late. I have been doing it all my life and that is my next hurdle to overcome. I read some tips and many words of encouragement here. I hope that you can find some inspiration from everyone here.

We all struggle and need help sometimes. I wish you good health and best of fortunes in your weight loss journey.

      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.

      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!
