January Dates



Recommended Posts

I'm taking off 2 weeks.. I'm a cosmetologist so my job is not that bad.. Yes I'm on my feet all day but I can take breaks or leave whenever because I'm my own boss kinda lucky I have that advantage.

New question...How much time are you taking off work??

Taking two weeks off. I sit on my butt all day, but I'm a social worker so stress is high. I wanted the relaxation!

Damn this pre-op liquid diet is difficult! I literally feel like I'm starving myself! Anyone else? Today is day 3.

Days 2-3 were the worst. I'm on day 8 now, and it's definitely gotten easier. Still have some times where I'm really hungry, but (most of) the cravings have gone away. It helps that I've lost 7 pounds in the past week!

I almost fell off the sofa laughing when I read this. I felt the same way, started before Christmas. Then the weight started coming off about a pound a day. Anxiety is normal especially when you look at all the risks and long term consequences under a microscope. I deal with it by simply thinking I am making the best decision for my situation with the tools available.

      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!
