Trying Not To Whine ....



Recommended Posts

Am soooooo trying not to whine but at 3 weeks out I am still bordering miserable. With reference to feeling normal at all. I did have a setback of pneumonia and was re hospitalized and also had some small and a huge hernia repaired (30 staples worth) but I just wanna feel better and wanna feel good about eating again. Thank you for letting me try not to whine .. ; ). Any insights on when I will feel human again ?

You've had a lot of things happen to your body ! I can only imagine what your insides are going through . I feel the same way . I feel normal but it's like a NEW normal and I am having a hard time dealing with it .

I want to feel like the old me... Just with my hits rearranged LOL .

Same here...I'm 2 weeks post op tomorrow and I'm feeling like a circus freak. What did help today was a trip to TJ Maxx to look at clothes. Before the surgery I was buying 2X shirts, today I put on a MEDIUM and it fit. That was my first NSV (non scale victory).

We have to remember why we started this journey and how miserable we were before the surgery. I KNOW that I don't want to feel like that again.

We are strong women who WILL make it thru this together.

I'm a loser!!! DOS: 7/18/12 HW: 273 DOS: 260 CW: 241

      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!
