Take Advantage



Recommended Posts

I'm having the lap band on 19th, I will take advantage of getting the LB! to get my husband to things for me. I've always had to take care of everyone and everything. I want to take a break. Do you think it's wrong.

Getting the lapband is a positive step towards taking care of yourself.

I hope your husband will be a great support for you as you make this major life change and that he doesn't feel taken advantage of!

My doctor said "do not let anyone wait on you, get up yourself and move, you will feel much better faster".

Although a little spoiling is great, you need to keep moving.

The more you move, the better you will feel.

I don't think it's wrong to "milk it" a little, but I'm sure it will be short lived. It seems when you are the one that always takes care of everyone else, those people are clueless and sometimes don't return the favor for long. Don't be upset if it's short lived. Work on recovery and start living your new life :)

thanks everyone for your advice, I promise that I won't overdo it. just want husband to remember what it is to take care of our children all the time and have a full time job. I think sometimes dad and husband need a reminder.

      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.

      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!
