I look at my plate and realize for the first thanksgiving in my life I won't be able to finish the small amount or go for seconds. I was able to have a bite of everything I like and was done.

It feels good to walk away but what a serious moment of reality that this is a whole new life!!

I was so happy that I felt satisfied with so little! I'm proud of myself. :)

This is the first Thanksgiving I'm not stuffed, but very satisfied. Looked around the table at plates piled high with food and said, "Yuck" to myself! Not being judgemental because that was what my plate looked like last Thanksgiving. I had a taste of everything except the macNcheese. I love my sleeve and my new found willpower!

Funny, but I didn't even notice anyone else's plate or food. Too focused on my own food, I guess!

Well I'm 6 months out now and still can't get many meats down so no turkey for me. No great loss. Daughters on a HCG diet, her daughter is two and eats very little and my mom hates turkey...so, we cooked steakburgers on the grill, and had a fresh fruit salad. I was able to eat 1/2 burger with Tomato on thin bun... I have so much to be thankful for!! Can you imagine 4 generations of women/girls in the same house?

It gets very interesting, but there's more than enough love going on in our house.

      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.

      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!
