Mark A Few More Off The List!



Recommended Posts

Went and had my head shrunk yesterday. And the psychologist said I'm not too crazy for surgery!! Yay!

Okay not quite like that but she told me I'm a great candidate for surgery!!

I meet with a different hypnotist to***ht to quit smoking. He is a former smoker, so he understands more about mental cravings vs. physical cravings. He has spent over 10 years developing his program, so I feel confident that I will soon be smoke free!!

Blood test in the morning. Explaining different reactions to when I go too long without food, ect PCP and psychologist (she specializes in bariatric patients) both worry about pre-diabetes.

But three steps checked off this week. WOO HOO!! Oh and my fiance said he is not going to support my Dr Pepper addiction. So he isn't buying me soda any more.

Getting requirements done so my PCP will clear me for surgery.

It feels good to get that checklist worked through. Good luck!!

Had to laugh at being cut off on your DP fix. In the same boat - planned to quit pepsi this week and found an unopened 12-pack!!! So... Will retry quitting next week, lol!

My cozy little land of denial has been taken away.

:-(

Got my blood test results. A1C levels put me at beginning stages of pre diabetic. HDL levels are really low. LDL levels are above normal and so are triglyceride levels.

Heart desiease, morbid obesity, and diabetes are what killed my grandma at 62. I'm following in her path.

Hi, freak out time now? I think so....

      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!
