What Is It Like To Not "wonder"?



Recommended Posts

I wonder what it is like to walk up to the ticket counter at the airport and not wonder if they will make me buy another seat because I am too big?

I wonder what it will be like to be offered a seat in one of those stupid plastic chairs and not wonder how soon the legs would buckle when I sat down.

I wonder what it will be like to go to a mall and walk into my favorite store and not have to wonder where the "plus sizes" are at.

I wonder what it will be like to walk into a restaurant and not have to wonder if they are sitting me in a table because I'm too big for a booth.

I wonder what it will be like to walk hand in hand with my husband and not have to wonder if people are thinking he shouldn't be with me because I'm too big.

I can't wait not to wonder anymore!!!! Come on November 12!!!!!

Great post and congrats on your upcoming surgery! The 3rd point really hits home, I can't wait until that day. They always put the plus sizes back in the corner and seem like they are hidden when you go to a new store and I hate asking for where this section is located.

i can relate to every one of those "wonders". We will all be there someday because we have (or in your case will soon have) the right tool to get us there.

Keep us posted on your journey!

      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!
