My office is having a pot luck today starting right now. A few people keep inviting me in. One said just come in and have a look at the food.

Would you say to a drug addict "come in the crack house just to have a look"?

I am still on liquids even though my dr said I can start eating soft food. My tummy is still a little sore and I don't want to hurt myself.

So I am just staying away from the food.

Congrats on your will power!!!!

Did they know you've had the surgery and still asked you to come "look" at the food? If so, that's really inconsiderate! I hope that's not the case!

Keep it up!!!

I'm getting banded a week from today... are you still not hungry? when was your surgery?

No my co workers did not know I had surgery. I wanted to keep it on the DL.

@CarrieCarrie, I had my surgery a week ago yesterday. I am still do not get hungry and most of the time I don't feel like eating. I look at my watch and think it's time to eat. My tummy growls but I can not tell if I am hungry or healing.

Now my co workers are telling me about the hot chillie that I missed out on. Well good, I can't stand spicy food. So I really did not miss out on anything. NO BIGGY...

All I'm thinking about is healing.

You know what's bad, is when my kids try to feed me. Last night they were having fried chicken, mac and cheese and deep fried potato. My little girl says she wants to have dinner as a family but I can not sit at the table when they eat that kind of stuff. I just can't. So I sit in front of the tv while my family is eating at the table.

I keep thinking "I'm healing, this will pass, remember what you are doing this for".

      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!
