Ok people, I've always been a bit of a charmer with the ladies. Few laughs, hit em with the eyes and... BANG! I'm in there! As a collegiate athlete and top 20 recruit in high school, I got A LOT of attention! However, life happened.. 15 knee surgeries later and here we are.

Well yesterday I went to a Raiders game (been a season ticket holder since they came back from Los Angeles) and a young lady approached me and tried to pick me up!! I was tongue tied for a second but walked with a lil more pep in my step.

God before anything, Family before anyone, Home before anywhere. Priority..

Lol no she isn't reading but I'm sure she'd appreciate that! Cool thing is that my wife is on the journey with me. She didn't have/need surgery but we are eating healthy together. She went from a size 14-16 to a size 8-10 in 6 months! We are the new "Hot Couple". Lol

      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!

        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!
