Telling My Story... Exactly What I Plan To Do!



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to check in with you all, I don't come by as much anymore. I'm more at My Fitness Pal or Fitocracy but I do check in here from time to time. I'm always just a message away too. I do get emails when someone sends me a private message here. :)

So, I just thought I'd tell all of you that I plan to become a Personal Trainer / Fitness Instructor / Nutritionist focusing on Bariatrics and Super Obese patients. Yeah... I sign up for Next Semester a few weeks. I know what I must do!!!

Joel Osteens message really REALLY hit me the other day. It must happen!!!

So, just as I have shared my story here with all of you, I will soon be sharing my story with thousands of others on a first hand basis. I really want to help EVERYONE SUCCEED!! I know it can be done, even if this is our first, third or five hundredth time working it.

Blessings everyone!!! :wub:

Irene,

I knew you were special the first time I was on the forum. Reading this just gave me chills. You, dear one, have a personal message you can share (from a former morbid obese person..me.. hearing REAL people, choices and success is motivating) and for you to help others get healthy, learn what to do, choices to make and know they can succeed is a fantastic end play. Your personal success will continue for a long, long time through others.

Congratulations!

Sandy

Thank you... you nearly brought me to tears right now. Seriously!

I've been pushing this aside, even after all this time I didn't believe in myself enough to believe I could or even should do this. I never felt "good enough". But I am... and as hard as it is for me to say something truly and sincerely nice about myself is another step up that staircase to a better me!!!

Keep working it y'all!!

      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!
