It is soooo worth it!



Recommended Posts

I am so excited. I am three weeks out, but have lost 55 lbs since I started the process back in Feb. The other day I went to the school where I used to teach and a group of kids (high school!!) walked up and said "Mrs. B. is that really you..you look so awesome" One of the girls said, "you look 10 years younger!" Needless to say, I floated down the hall to the teacher's lunchroom where I was meeting with friends. I got such positive reinforcement and I really needed it. I am sooooo tired of liquids, but am afraid of mushies. I have had absolutely no problems so far and despise throwing up, so I am extremely cautious. I think, with the encouragement I received, that I can continue on for the next 60 lbs that I need to lose. I also want to thank all of you who participate on this forum. I could not have made the journey so far without your posts and encouragement! Just wanted to share my "high".

      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!
