OMG you have lost over 30 lbs and you have not even had the surgery! If you have that great of will power y do u even need the surgery? Will power is what I am lacking. I am scared I wont be able to stick to the program!

My PCP has me on Meridia to help me loose the weight I needed for the surgery. My surgeon's ok with it. Not to mention he put me on a 1500 cal diet the first month and increased it to 2000 the following 5 months. I also TRIED to exercise as much as possible. Trust me it's not will-power as much as hubby-power. My DH is very supportive although I think it's more because of all the money we have invested into this..hehe..

Glad to hear it! Jus because it seems everyone here has this great will power and I have been worried that I chose wrong by doing lapband instead of bypass. Cool that your husband is supportive. Mine thinks support comes in the form of calling me fat etc. Somehow that is supposed to be encouragement. That is ok though because I am doing this for me! Not him! 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!
