Feeling even more determined.



Recommended Posts

:svengo:Well after the weekend I spent in San Diego I am even more determined to have the surgery and lose weight. First off I went because my mother who is 54 and my cousin who is two years younger then myself, were running the Rock and Roll Marathon with 25,000 other people. YES 25k people running in this race! I was surrounded by a ton of tough fit people and felt like a big giant porker and the thing is I know it is my own fault and that is what sucks. The girls did great by the way, so proud of them both.

We stayed at the Marriott Resort and Marina which was gorgeous and had a ton of business people and they hosted a charity benefit where the men were in suits and the women in formal dresses. The people were beautiful. Fitness guru Denise Austin was in the main lobby as I walked through yesterday (a concierge I was chatting with pointed her out) she looked amazing in person with GREAT LEGS.

Anyways I am rambling, it is time to stop feeling like a failure for not conquering my weight issues and GET ER DONE!

Sorry for the rant. It was a long self conscious weekend. :001_tt2:

Don't apologise for the rant - thats what we are here for....I think we've all been in similar situations, so can all identify with your feelings. Its a brilliant incentive for you tho - perhaps next year you'll be running with them - you never know!!

Chin up!

Wish you a speedy recovery, Sparkle. I'm on my fourth day and feeling pretty darn good. A bit bloated because of all this chicken broth, but I know I'm losing weight every day because that's all I'm taking in.

      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.

      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!
