Okay so I just found out something I think is GREAT! I'm sure people know exactly what I'm talking about and have just been keeping it quiet!! Just kidding y'all!

Really who knew about this craigslist !!!!

I had never heard of it before!

Free stuff! OMG! (Oh My Gorsh!)

Pets, stuff for sale!

I was thinking of the personal ads...they post stuff like "I'm just looking for someone to make out with." Or replace "make out" with something a little more saucy. :)

Check out the freecycle sites as well. It's basically well meaning people who have items which still have a useful life but no use. I have seen cars and computers and above ground pools given away. Mostly its smaller items like books and baby clothes, but it cant hurt.

I joined the local freecycle with the intention of avoiding a garage sale -- lots of nice stuff to get rid of, but garage sales aren't my thing, so it was either find a home for it, or trash it.

I became so disgusted with the site that I quit after about 4 days. Hopefully other regions have better membership than we did. I posted a 3 year old Toshiba Satellite laptop that still worked as good as the day I bought it. I just didn't need it since I got a new one and DH had a better one. Every single response was like, "Can you post the specs so I know if it's good enough? I already have a computer but I'll take it for free!" or, "Would you upgrade XYZ for me before I take it?", or "What else comes with it? Do you have a desk or bag or anything? Software?" That kind of behavior sickened me. It's like -- come on, it's free, what do you want?? DH posted 3 suits, all of which originally cost over $600. One cost over $1k. He's outgrown them *ahem*, and has purchaed new ones in a a larger size, so he figured there might be someone out there needing them for a job interview, or just to have on hand in case of emergency. He was asked, "Will you pay to have them tailored to fit me? I want them but not if I have to pay to make them fit."

      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!
