What Was Your Breaking Point?



Recommended Posts

My life has been a palette of obesity and unhealthy eating habits. I graduated high school in 1992 at about 265#. I sustained a severe debilitating ankle injury in 2010...and since have piled on another whopping 90#. My ankle surgeon demanded I have the surgery before he can repair my ankle...for the 3rd time.

I started my journey the end of last month. I met with the team and began to read myself into a motivational frenzy!!!

I am PROUD to say that following their eating plans I am down 15# without exercise.

It has taken the strongest of willpower to avoid my normal junk foods and pizza...which is my ultimate weakness. I've chosen to eat healthier and start this journey with a most positive outlook. For I know my fate and future lies within my hands and this surgery is merely a tool to jumpstart my lifelong commitment to health, happiness and longevity.

I wish everyone the best of luck. I'm here anytime to chat, offer support and field questions.

And I am a NURSE...so if the RNY was not safe I would not have it done on myself.

Much Love,

Jeff

      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.

      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!
