Altho a generalization, some of us have learned to settle for less than we deserve because of our size didn't think we would find anyone else, or settled for someone who provided something we didnt think we could give ourselves. As we start to lose the weight and make the necessary changes, i think the idea of settling for something or someone may no longer be the choices we make. We will realize we no longer have to settle for anything. I anticipate making many changes in my life because I am beginning to realize they exit because they enabled the lifestyle that got me to 320lbs. That includes people, attitudes, how and where i spend my time. This might be the case for you also. Just know you deserve the best and that most inappropriate behaviors stem from insecurities and fear. Go for it and do not lookback.

That's really not nice of him to say at all!!! :(

But I hope this helps ..........

I do want to put forward a conversation my doctor had with me prior to the surgery!!! She ask me if I was in a married to which I replied Yes!

She then went on to explain that "sometimes it's hard for a partner to see you loss the weight as that could make him feel as though he's being left behind or give him insecure feelings about the relationship! It's also important to explain all reasons as to why it's important to you to have the op and how it will change your life and also the life you will go on & have together! Its important to allow them to go through this journey with you as you want them to be happy as well and for this to happen I think it's important that all information & reasons are shared and talked about openly so there are no insecurities!

This is what I did in my situation after speaking with my doctor and my husband is very supportive and understands why it was important to me to have had the op and I thanked my doctor for all her wise words as I would have easily not have thought about the affects of not knowing all information may have had!

I hope it all works out well for you and your family xo

      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.

        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!
