Just an observation



Recommended Posts

I'm just spewing thoughts that come into my head since i'm still sitting at home recovering from my surgery on Wednesday May 4th....

I was thinking to myself after reading some of the posts in Introductions and Pre-Op questions......

ok, don't be hatin' when i say this, I just think it's interesting, but.....

My GOAL weight is the same as most people's START weight. :P

There, i said it. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's kinda funny to me. The thought that one day I *might* be able to weigh 250 pounds seems just some unattainable dream. I would LOVE to weigh 250 pounds.

anyone else here feeling that 'twoderville' is reeeeaaaaalllly far away?

I hear ya sister!

My original goal was 250#, anything after that is just "frosting on the cake"! Hope to see twoderville in June.

Getting to twoderville is HUGE for me because I never again will have to say I am over 300 lbs. And now 280s are a few lbs away. Its a wonderful feeling!

ok, i know this is off topic, but it's my topic and i just need to kvetch.

i know, in my head, that the first 4-6 weeks after surgery is all about healing and blah de blah, blah...but since my surgery date, my scale hasn't budged. not up, but not down either. it just sits there, staring me in the face, taunting me, laughing at me.

grumble.

i do know it's because i'm healing/ i am on real food and not liquids or mushies, but dang it..........it's making me nutso. like i said, my head knows that this is normal, but my heart longs to be down even 1 pound.

i just wanted to vent.......sooooo there, i vented.

      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!
