Bakery fire...lost everything :(



Recommended Posts

This isn't necessarily Lap Band related, but just wanted to let you all know that I lost my bakery business in a terrible fire yesterday. Everything is gone, but everyone is OK, no one was hurt. There were 3 other businesses in the building that lost everything as well. It's a tough time, handling this, trying to figure out where to go from here. My mind is elsewhere, not on the band, for obvious reasons. Hoping to get through this all quickly so I can move on. If anyone wishes to see photos, I've shared some on my business Facebook page. www.facebook.com/cakeplacid Has anyone been through something tragic like this, and if so, how was your band in all of it? I seem to not be hungry, not eating as much. I don't want to be unhealthy but I just have no desire, I'm sure it's stress and I hope it can ease up soon. Thank you :)

So sorry, I had a major house fire years ago, and lost everything, but it was pre-band. Be good to yourself. It is a major shock to the system! Best wishes.

I'm so sorry, I remember you posting a few days ago and thinking we started at Abt the same weight, and I make cakes as well, so I've been wanting to see how you've done balancing the two. I can't even imagine the feelings you're having right now. I'm glad that no one was hurt, and hoping that you will be able to rebuild even better!

So sorry! Thoughts & prayers everything will work out.

Stress, which obviously you have, can tighten your band up.

Sorry to hear! I find when I'm stressed I either don't want to eat or have trouble feeling tight. I had 2 relatives pass away just a few weeks after surgery it was tough. Now when I'm over stressed sometimes I'll do more shakes to get my Protein and not worry About getting stuck. Good luck.

      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!
