I'm so proud of myself y'all! Yesterday we were passing by a Tommy's after spending the afternoon at the beach and my son and rest of the family really wanted to stop to eat. I knew I couldn't order anything from the menu, but I didn't want to stop my family from eating there. I still need to lose a few pounds before my upcoming pre-op, so I literally sat with everyone and watched as they ate (with the exception of 2 french fries and a few sips of my hubby's diet coke)! I don't think I've ever done that before. Afterwards I got something else to eat and I was happy! Happy that my family was happy and happy that I didn't go off!!! YAY FOR ME:thumbup:!!!

Way to go!!! I am very impressed with you losing so much weight already!! Im trying to quit old habits and Im doing it one step on a time, such as coffee, pop, carbs, Im hoping soon I will start eating smaller portions... are you on any specific plan right now? Atkins? smaller portions?

We're just weeks apart in our surgeries, looking forward to being on the loser board with you!!

Thank you :laugh0:...I am using the weight watcher point system, and journaling everything (that's the key). I am also making sure to drink a Protein Shake for Breakfast (30 grams of protein).

      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!
