Recommended Posts

I must confess that today do to extreme stress I let the old me back and eat like crazy all day long. In my 9 th month out and have not eaten like this for about a year. 4 people shoot outside my home my car drenched in bullets, had I been in it I wouldn't be writing this post and the beast in my belly and brain was released stressed and sick to my stomach, is this a bad sign is stress going to destroy my hard work. Always been an emotional eater but I was sure I had beaten that battle, slain on the weight battlefield today, but happy to be alive. Sorry for the rant

That's terrible. Where do you live???

I'm in my early 40's now. In my early 30's I lost 150+ pounds through diet and exercise. I thought I was bullet proof and my issues with food were solved. I was cured. WRONG. Over the next 10 years I put back on 110 pounds.

Now I know I'll never be 'cured' of my issues with food. It'll be something I'll need to manage, always.

But I learn from my mistakes and move on. When I lose the weight this time, I won't make the same mistakes again.

Learn from today and move on. You're in a better position now because you know there's still emotional eating issues there. Now that you're aware you can manage that next time you feel under stress.

Cheers,

Deano

First and foremost, stay safe.

Given the circumstances, no wonder your inner food demon needed comforting.

Similarly to Deano, I thought I had kicked the food demon out of my life and then life happened - divorce, move, new job, etc and man it was back in full swing.

We all have days. Treat yourself well and remember the stress you were under was crazy and give yourself a great big hug.

And, this is coming from the mommy in me, please move to a safer neighborhood. You deserve it!!!

Hugs,

Jess

First thank goodness you are ok...Don't beat upself up over it. We have all had temptations and fell off the wagon. Brush yourself off..look yourself in the mirror and think how far you have come. The beast won one little battle, but YOU are winning the war. Jump back on the wagon and enjoy the ride. Good Luck

      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.

        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!
