what I've learned being 11 months post-op



Recommended Posts

my eyes are way bigger than my stomach (still)......

Guilt is not what I should feel if I eat a cupcake. ...

123lbs lost is actually great......

If I dont lose any weight 1 week its OK...

Feeling mad sometimes because I still cant eat salads or slaw is OK....

Being able to buy clothes anywhere is nice....

I can walk past Lane Bryant and I do NOT have to shop there!!!!!

The scale is NOT making me its b*tch I made it my b*tch!!!! :)

I enjoy compliments. ....

Being cold ALL of the time sucks!

Whenever I see french fries I smell grease which is a good thing right?

I still want to lose more weight but if I don't its starting to be OK....

Weight day of surgery: 350

Weight today: 224

Surgery date: 6/29/12

Height: 5'9 1/2

      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!
