Windows and Doors opening my way



Recommended Posts

SO I have had such a great day. I am 8 months post op (down 94) and have enough confidence in myself and my weight loss that I decided to start the process of becoming a police officer. Something I never thought I would be able to do because of my weight.

To top it off my trainer asked me to submit a story and before and after pictures to go up on their wall of success.

Please remember that although you are struggling now - and trust me I have had my struggles. I spent the first 3 months wishing I had never done this to my body because I could not keep things down. THis hard time will pass and you can reach not only your weights goals, but life goals as well.

So when a door closes somewhere a window opens, and sometimes both open for you! :D

I agree!!! I just did my first week in the pre nursing program!! I am excited and hate that I can't go more or have more classes so that I can hurry up the process lol. But I guess my 6 classes will have to be enough for now.

      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.

      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!
