oh Paige I hear ya...my pants are tight and I dont own anything bigger. Not a good feeling.

Ive been struggling with eating poorly and been in that cycle of eating soft foods bc of food intolerances. Going to give it a few more days of liquids and mushies before I even think about an unfill. Bc if that is the case then I'm prob done with fills.

Next meetings: Monday Dec 14th @ Faulkner, Tues Dec 15th B+W

Bostonmomma congrats on your surgery date!!!

I'm really going to do my best to keep busy at night. I realize now that the difference between last year at this time and now is that I used to stay busy at night. I didn't have bad foods in my house and was really working hard at this. My band is too loose and I'm not watching my Portion Control. Not a good combination.

I'd like to go to the meeting at the Faulkner, not the Brigham, simply because of the parking stuff. Anyone else able/willing to go??? Please don't make me go alone again! :w00t:

Excellent, Holly. Barring some unforseen work issue, I'll be there!

In the event ya'll notice that I've changed my screen name, I thought I'd explain. I had the same screen name as my e-mail address for the longest time.....and some guy I met on line Googled me and came up with THIS site. Not exactly how I want him to find out. I felt rather exposed to say the very least. So...suffice it to say, I decided in case anyone else opted to do the same, it would just be easier to change my name. Hope that doesn't seem crazy!!

Enjoy the snow!! :w00t:

Hi everyone. I'm thinking i should go to the meeting. It would be nice to be around people who are going through all the same junk as I am right now. feeling pretty low about myself at this point. I'm still doing "bad" things (eating wise). Still not exercising either. Keep telling myself tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow! This time of year is always hard for me. Ya know the darker days & being stuck inside is hard for everyone.

I know where you are!! I finally did it today. I put my scale away in the closet. I just can't deal with it right now. I'm frustrated that I've gained weight and I can't seem to get rid of it. I've promised that I will be kinder to myself this year.....so it starts now. :scared2:

      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!
