We had a great Thanksgiving. I stayed in my PJ's all day. :blush: I did absolutely nothing, well I did watch the Titan's game. :)

Happy Thanksgiving! Well, what we did on our special day was almost get lost on a mountain in the Ozarks. We went for our first mountain bike trip as a family (me, my husband, and four year old on a tagalong). It was supposed to be one hour, 4 miles. We kept going and going and going, then realized we'd better just turn around as we'd already gone 4 miles and there was no end (there was an option to go 8 or 12 miles, and I think we missed the turn off). So we turned around. The sun was going down, we ran out of Water, had NO survival gear, not even jackets. This was not an easy path - very rocky and hard to see with leaves covering it, so no way to follow it in the dark. I prayed to my deceased grandpa and God the whole way that we would make it back to the truck before the sun went down. We finally made it with 1/2 hour to spare - a one-hour trip turned into a four-hour trip. I lost count of the times I fell due to sheer exhaustion. But it ended up being a very, very thankful day. I'm not uber-religious, but I find God usually in nature, and he/she was certainly watching out for us that day. I kept watching the sun go down and just kept praying God stay with me, give us a bit more daylight. It would have been very scary being caught out in the mountains at night with no water or fire. I will never go into the mountains again without the basic survival gear.

Lindata, what a scary experience, especially with a little one with you! So glad you are all OK!!

Shalee, I've been following your PS thread. Glad you're feeling better!

I made Thanksgiving dinner at my house for about 12 people. Even though I sent home leftovers with my guests, we still had a lot leftover. Too much stuffing, yams, and pie did not help my efforts this week.

      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!
