Off Topic- But had to share



Recommended Posts

For those not on my Facebook, I just had to share ! ! !

We closed on our first home today. It was a very exhaustive, emotional time for us, but we did it ! ! !

When we first married, I weighed around 270lbs, more than 100lbs heavier than my lovely husband. Today, he officially carried me over the threshold. He has carried me around the house several times, body slammed me while wrestling since VSG, but today, he actually carried me over OUR threshold.

AND, I'm 7.5 months pregnant, weighing about 23-24lbs heavier than my maintenance weight (all gained in the pregnancy) even though apparently you can't tell from this picture, I'm super pregnant ha ha ha! ! !

This was such an amazing day. If anyone would have told me 2 years ago that we'd be here today, I would call them a liar. I was still in recovery mode from my horrible complications after my band to VSG revision, my husband was deployed to the shithole, most call, Afghanistan, and I really wasn't sure how we'd make it through the rest of the year.

Today, 2 years later, I'm thriving in a pregnancy, STILL WEIGH LESS than him, and just purchased our first home! ! ! That's all pretty phenomenal if I do say so myself!

AND, NO, he didn't pop a hernia, he was trying to make sure he didn't whack me into the door, and his foot slipped on the tile (plus he had been moving boxes for about 4 hours at this point) ! ! !

      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!
