At The Weight I Would Always Give Up...



Recommended Posts

So I got on the scale today and a deep depression hit me!

Whenever I would diet off and on for the last 10 years I would get the the current weight I am at today... (give or take a few pounds) and then the scale would stop. For weeks!!!! Then as usual I WOULD GIVE UP and have a damn cookie or a few or bag of chips!

I am on week 3 of post op very struck diet... still pudding type soft foods...

Just in a funk and had to tell someone that would understand.

I totally understand. I was telling my husband the same thing. I am three weeks post op today and have been at the same weight for a week. Sucks. But everyone says this is normal so thats what keeps me going. Plus the fact that I have no choice than to eat soft foods.

I know it could only get better from here. I just have a fear feeling that I am yet going to fail again!

Thank you for the kind words! I know to hold my head high and keep on chuggin along!

      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!
