1-2nd month breakdowns



Recommended Posts

After my 3rd week post op, I started feeling upset that I wished the weight would come off quicker. But I lost 32.5 lbs in 1 month exactly from my surgery date on December 17, but I guess my breakdown was that I'm going through so much, I'm working so hard at my new me, I felt like I was not noticing an "amazing change" and other people haven't notice or just don't compliment.

I was thinking I'm being selfish and psycho about it since, I have been just trying harder with this diet because it takes time. ( I wish the weight disappears instantly)

Another hypersensitive note: I'm feeling a difference now 2 weeks later from my breakdown. The compliments are here and there and the attention feels great. The weight loss isn't for other people but everyone deserves the attention and compliments on your performance.

:) Selfish and psycho are not words that come to mind. I can totally understand the impatience! Maybe someday someone will invent the medical technology that will allow us to lose all the excess weight overnight. But for now, you lost 32.5 lbs in 1 month exactly. Say those words aloud! 32.5 lbs in 1 month! That's absolutely incredible! 32.5 lbs. Gone! Forever! Congratulations! Just keep after it, and enjoy the ride. People who see you every day might not notice as much because you're losing consistently and they see you all the time.

People who you haven't seen in a while will have their minds blown :lol:

Thank you for your encouragement . Yes during the holidays, I started week 2 (strained cream of chicken) the day my family was eating a 16 lb prime rib!

      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!
