A Week To Go! Weird Emotions...



Recommended Posts

After all of the going back and forth about why I'm having the surgery, if it's the right thing to do, will I end up worse off...I am now at the "I can't wait for you to see me in a few months" stage. I'm single and have a strange relationship with a guy - I guess the term is "friends with benefits" he's an electrical genius and can fix anything that breaks around my house and doesn't expect anything in return. Well, he ticked me off so badly this weekend that all I can think about is "you're not going to treat me this way 50lbs from now, but it's going to be too late." I know that's really immature and I've never approached this journey from a standpoint of vanity, it's been about my health all along. But this weekend has shown me that I need a satisfying relationship with someone who deserves me as much as I deserve him. I have so much to offer.

With the same token, I know I'll wonder if the guys I meet in the future would like me as I am today - not as they will meet me after my success with the band. Inquiring minds want to know, but it's in God's hands and I trust him more than I trust myself that He will send the man that will fulfill His desires for our lives.

Amen.

I know exactly how you feel but we can't blame others if they are not attracted to overweight people. I'm overweight and only been with skinny guys. As long as people we care about respect that people they think are fat... Are in fact people. I say use that man for all he's good for lol and move on when ur ready!

      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.

        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!
