Thanksgiving Is Depressing For Me!!!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I know it is really hard missing out on all the holiday meals. But it will be so worth it. I sat down to eat today and could only eat about 1/2 of a small plate of food. I thought one of the biggest things I am thankful for this year is my band. Normally I would have eaten like a pig all day long. I could not even eat a whole piece of pie. I do not make very good decisioins on what I eat. But I deffinitly cant pig out like I used to. So hang in there and remember this is your last holiday being over weight. Next year you will be a new peson on the outside and feel like a new person on the inside. Oh and the gas does go away. But man does it hurt while it is there. Maybe you should take some pain meds just to get a brake from it for a while. Good luck to you on your journey.

Wow, you're so lucky ApinkSoporano, look at all the people here who care about you and know what you're going through. The day is almost over and you're gonna make it.

Hugs and congratulations on your band.

(Towards the end of my second week, don't tell anyone, but I use to stand over the sink and chew really soft foods, then spit it out..shhhhhh)

      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!
