Must you judge?



Recommended Posts

The only people I've told that I've had lap band is my husband, parents and brother. I don't want to be judged and I certainly don't want your comments.

As I was eating lunch today, I got the comment of 'I thought you had Lap band.' 'No kidding, you're really putting it down.'

I had egg salad (1 egg, 2egg whites), 1/4 avocado and 1oz Cracker Barrel cheese. Get offs back!

I'm cranky, rant over.

My husband said something the other day like "Are you still losing weight?".. I said yes I am but it's my problem not yours.. don't bug me about this .. I don't bug you about smoking (which I hate). so you just let me do this wihtout any judgement or comments.. he quickly apologized and said he was just wondering since I hadn't said anything lately.. truth is I don't want to jinx myself.. there have been so many diets and "programs" in the past where I failed and I don't want to fail at this... keep your head up and don't worry about it.. Like they say revenge will be when you are happy , healthier and thin..

I only told a few people and the ones I told have been very supportive. I may tell others later, but for some reason people seem to watch you and wait for you to fail. I don't quite understand it and don't like it. Besides, I'm doing this for me and nobody else.

      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!
