I think it's cause you have to keep up with so much your food Protein Vitamins exercise and Drs visits your blood work this is a lot to deal with so I think it will just take a little while to get adjusted to all the changes after all its not just surgery it is a lifestyle change and changes take time Remember all good things are worth WAITING for and that's a better HEALTHIER LIFE

I've started to "try" and not talk about it as much. Very hard to do!

No I found myself telling a complete stranger at Water aerobics!!! I was appaled at myself afterwards!! It was like why the hell dud I just tell a complete stranger that!! So weird.

I know what you mean. Everytime I say something to a complete stranger... I think to myself ... what the hell. The lady at SAMS was handing out samples and instead of saying no thank you ... I said... I have had gastric bypass and I really cant... wth... like she cares!!!

We ran through Wendy's the other night to pick up dinner after soccer practice. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and baked potato (was going to take the bun off), got around to the window and the told me they were out of baked potatoes, I could have salad or fries. I'm 6 weeks post-op, I can't have salad for 2 more weeks and I'm just not gonna have fries. Rather then say cancel my order I went in to a big gastric bypass speech.....I am such an idiot :D

I know my kids are tired of hearing me talk about it but I'm trying to get all the info I can so that I am as prepared for the life changes I am making. What they do not realize fully is that they are making the changes also!!!! So I am not just wanting this surgery for myself to become healthier but all of us. Does that make sense, or am I just pushing this onto the kids unnecessarily?

No, my family is also going to make the change with me!!

I agree it's a life change and I think we are excited and ready to do this. My husband will have to make changes as well and he's totally cool with it. Never says honey can we talk about something else! Lol I'm going to try to tone it down but no promises!! 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.

      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!
