Today's my birthday and I hope I don't overdo!



Recommended Posts

OK, to start out....Today is one of my birthdays, the one my Mother and Daddy gave me 52 years ago. My other birthday is April 29th, the day I got my band and really started living again. I have not one, not two, not three but FOUR birthday events planned for me! I just hope I can keep it under control! LOL I went and saw my doctor for my 2 week checkup after surgery and told him I was going to my nephew's wedding that weekend and I would be so tempted to eat some of the wedding cake. He told me there were two types of cake he allowed...wedding and birthday. So I plan on following doctor's orders today for sure! ;-) I guess this thread is my lame way of conning happy birthdays from y'all and also to kind of hope by putting this in writing I won't go out and make a big ole pig of myself and regret it later.

Happy Birthday!!!

I allow myself any kind of dessert that I want but onle one or two bites. After a meal that is usually all I can handle anyway. If I deny myself all the time I am more likely to cave and have a monstrosly bad day. So indulge in cake today and maybe a bite or 2 tomorrow. However you decide to Celebrate make sure you enjoy yourself as your 52nd birthday is a once in a lifetime event. ~Mandy

P.S. have some cake for me too as I can't tolerate cake anymore.

Happy B-day! I know how you feel b/c the way my family and my husband's family are all close (distance wise) we end up having to go to like 3 dinners at Thanksgiving and Christmas. This will be my 1st year to do it with a band and I am going to try what my nutrition class teacher said which is to pick only 3 things to eat at the dinner instead of trying to taste everything that way you will have smaller amount of the things you REALLY want. And then she said for dessert to just have 2 bites b/c statstically it only takes 2 bites to satisfy the sweet tooth! Good luck!

Hi Becky! Happy Birthday! Sounds like you have wonderful family & friends that have planned some nice birthday events for you! You'll probably be too busy to "overdo it" - just have fun and eat if you're hungry! Try to get by with a small piece of cake at each event. By the end of all of the festivities you'll be proud of yourself!

Have a GREAT day!

      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!
