Thank you everyone !!! I took all your advice! I pressed on with my chores laundry, dinner for my family and even cleaned out some draws and a closet (YAY). Watched Flight with Denzel W. , got addicted to Scandal on Netflix, went to the hair salon and I did some shopping , I did one row at the outlet mall with my BFF yesterday it was so nice out! All in all my days have been fuller and I am feeling less sore each day. Thanks again for your input!!

I was banded about a year ago and it seems like such a long time ago. I remember being very excited to not have to do anything...I watched the "crappy" tv that I never get to watch and spent time knitting--which I don't get work work on for very long at a time. I also took walks around Walmart during the day--not a lot of people there at that time. :)

I was bored out of my mind as well. I blogged a lot or stayed on these boards. I watched TV or just slept because TV was driving me nuts as well :(. Good luck

I didn't get time to get bored. I was cooking and cleaning from day one and running my business from home. I didn't do any heavy lifting and it was a week before I got in my car and drove myself to the supermarket.

Those were the worst! But my doctor was explaining to me how those intentionally make you hungry so I avoided them and the food network at all costs!

      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!
