My Surgery Was/ Is On________, And I Has/will Conquer________



Recommended Posts

I love the word "conquer". It just feels so powerful to me. We all have at least a few things to conquer and I'd love to hear what yours are.

For me:

My surgery was feb 25/ 2011, and I will conquer long distance running. It's been a goal of mine since grade school. I'm registered for the Disney princess half marathon next month. So excited!!!!!

My surgery was December 20, 2011 and I will conquer my fear of meeting new people, for fear of being judged for being fat. Or for thinking my husband's career will be limited by my appearance.

My surgery is scheduled for March 15, 2012. I am getting very excited but also aprehensive...

Like Amanda, I will conquer my fear of meeting new people and my fear of no man ever finding me attractive again. Oh and that my weight is impeding my ability to get ahead at work.

Ok I am glad I am not the only one who thinks we are discriminated against with the big ugly flowers and gross patterns. Its like...we are fat, it's not that we have no taste in clothing! Ugh I HATE THAT!

Oh and I hate my double chin too. :)

My surgery was December 8th but this happened three weeks ago.

I conquered my fear of restaurant booths. I sat in one with friends the other day and FIT. I tried to get a chair to pull up at the end but couldn't and ended up just sliding in. Much to my surprise, I fit with a little extra room between my stomach and the table.

Next up, I will conquer my hatred of exercise.

What awsome replies!!!!

I feel I need to add that I'm in the process of conquering my fear of "being out there" and excelling in the workplace. I have a meeting this week with the vice president of the bakery I help manage, to talk about my advancement in the company and my eventual buying of my store!!!!

I'm nervous!!!!!!

      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!
