So I've been thinking a lot about why I used to eat the way I did. I drove by Long John Silver's today and briefly felt a longing to eat there. Then I asked myself, "Why?" It was then I realized that fast food and any junk food was easy. I didn't have to worry about the Protein content. I didn't count how many calories the food contained. I would chug a 32oz soda and never once think about how much Fluid I still needed for the day. It was easier to give in than to work hard for what I really desired: a thin, healthy body. There are foods I do actually miss the taste of, but for the most part, I just miss not having to work so hard to lose weight. I must say I am very proud of myself for having the strength to keep on driving past the fast food restaurants. I've lost 49lbs and I will NOT look back and miss who I used to be. :D

keep it up girl.... I know that sometimes I still crave a whopper and the smell of fried foods still puts me in a tizzy... but it is not worth it. grilled chicken & veggies are my life now :-)

Forty nine pounds is no joke, you've done wonderful. You've crossed over to the thin life. Congrats, hope I'll do just as well!

Thanks! :) Fried food makes me weak, too, but I've come too far. I weigh 193 and I never want to see 200 again!

      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.

        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!
