Emotion Overload!!!!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is tuesday 9/13. I am terrified that I am doing the wrong thing. My stomach is so nervous that I'm afraid that I might vomit.

I too question why I can't do this on my own. Why do I need to do this to my body? Why can't I control myself? Should I try one last time? If I can do the liquids for two weeks, why can't I stick to other diets?

Well, I've done the 'one last time' weekly for about 20 years.

I'm going to keep checking back to this site just to read the success stories to encourage me to keep going.

Good luck on your journey.

Yep KateMarie, I am right there with you. I thought about giving it another 4-6 months on my own. I know I would be mad at myself and disappointed I didn't lose more than I did. With the holidays coming up I really believe this is a good decision for us that are having surgery in the next month or so. I hear consistently that this questioning ourselves is very normal

My best to you with your surgery Tuesday! You know going in the first couple of days are not fun, but each day after you will feel better and weigh less! Keep us posted after your surgery. I have imagining what I might weigh and look like at Christmas time- can't wait:)

      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!
