i was scanning and faxing alot of contracts a big ago and came across a NSV that never occurred to me..and i was thinking i have got to post this and

hope someone reads it and goes, hey, thats right, so can i and just maybe....encourage (esp a larger bmi person like myself)...even if for a moment..

I have posted NSV on tying shoes, no more seat belt decapitation, putting my own socks on, fitting into regular bathroom stall...and the list is endless....

i have no shame, i just post reality as i experience it...

last year i couldnt stand for more than 5 min at a time (100% TRUTH) and here i was standing and faxing for a good 25 minutes.....i recall with great clarity having to fax one or two items and coming back to sit down as my legs, just couldnt handle the girth/weight

granted its not much ado bout anything

but to me, it was MAJOR

Love the graphic CG! Right there with ya, I hated having to get up to even go to the ladies room, now I try to get up every half an hour or so and walk down the hall just because!

This week I even started taking the stairs. I can do the 4 flights no problem...it's that 5th flight the last one that has me panting for a good 10 minutes when I get up here, but I'm determined, and your my motivation!!!!

i am so proud of YOU.

every step is a step forward..last year when i started this, to get to the bathroom here at work was 54 steps one way. with me being as large as i was, it was so hard. and i had to pause half way.....but after surgery, i went every hour and you know after a while, those 54 steps became easier and easier....that little jaunt down the hall actually helped me.......so you are 100% right GF, just keep on doing it and looksee what happens....you and stairs.

this is for you honey from me

      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!
