Yeah girl, you are officially HERE on the bench! Congratulations!!!

I am one that agrees with you about the first days being awful, but it does get better. Trying on clothes is really fun and should be even more fun after about 20 pounds or so.

It's pretty miserable for about 2 weeks then once you start really walking and life gets back to normal you'll notice how much better you feel. Especially when you see someone you haven't seen in a couple weeks and they tell you how much better you look. Then you'll be on cloud 9. Remember you're in it for the long haul and you'll be fine.

You are definitely on the Loser's Bench! I had angst for a few weeks about what I could and couldn't eat, but it has been fine. I'm exercising now too, which is starting to tone everything up :-)

LunaRose - you can lose the pessimism here! Yoyo dieting is no longer part of our vocabulary - we ARE losers!! You have already lost a sixth towards your first goal in only 10 days!!! :D

      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!
