Okay, I know that we have to learn to trust and that may take some time. After all, I have trusted before, only to have my heart broken. I always put so much into a relationship only to find out it won't work out. But, now I have finally found a relationship that is making me smile with joy and love. I LOVE Bernard!! He is everything I was told he would be and more. He is supportive and steady. Who could ask for anything more? (Oooh, sounds like a Gershwin tune). :)

BTW, Bernard is my band. I got my first fill on Friday, 1 cc went into Bernard and he is now happy to keep me honest and ful-"filled"! I thought to myself "Only 1 cc, how in the world would such a small bit of liquid love keep me satisfied?" Well folks, I am here to tell you that it has worked so far. I am not hungry in between my meals, and that is a BIG improvement. I have already lost 5 pounds since Friday and am feeling so happy to see the numbers on the scale go down. I know that our relationship will need constant tweaking, like any good love relationship, but I am willing to give this relationship my all, because I feel that it is mutually supportive.

Good luck to all those out there that are on this journey. We can do this, because we have the tools now to make it happen. :smile2:

For me this is a nice post.

I go in for my first fill today, and I have been a little nervous. This gives me hope. Thank you. :smile2:

I am so happy to hear that Bernard is the support you need. I know that Zippy is doing her best and after her first feeding tomorrow (4cc of "liquid love" :tongue_smilie: in a 10cc) she'll be even more happy to help. Even if she's being kind of shy for the dr and making me take her to the radiologist to feed her.

I really do like the "liquid love" term. Definately going to have to adopt that into my vocab.

      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.

        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!
