Can We Get Back To Support And Stop Attacking Each Other Please?



Recommended Posts

I have encountered very few people who attack but it is here - and other support places as well. That's life I guess!

I know I certainly felt attacked when I came out about my bulimia struggles. Not just attacked, but really ridiculed. I was very disappointed in this forum and had to take a few weeks off. After that, I've turned into more of a lurker. It really is too bad, we face enough of that **** from the outside world, and have most of our lives as obese people.

I imagined that people here freaked out on you... bingeing and purging do not mix well with the sleeve... especially early out when you can rip your staple line. Hope all is going well for you now. It must be very challenging. Please understand that that response is a warning call to keep you safe. I hope they did not make it personal, thats not right.

Thanks feedyoureye! No, for me, bulimia has always been a result of overeating and being out of control (half a pizza). With the sleeve it will remove a lot if not all of that! At this point I can't even imagine doing that to my body,let alone my poor little stomach! I am excited to see if this curbs the ED as I think it will for other obese bulimics who feel out of control.

      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!
