Seen my primary care doc yesterday. Had a bunch of blood drawn...Will know results in a few days. Curious to know if i'm lacking in anything. Good news! She's weening me off my blood pressure meds! She thinks i may be hypoglycemic because i break out in sweats all day long. Could be menopause too. She explained how our bodys process everything differently now. Went into detail about blood sugars that went way over my head! I'm losing so slow and kinda down about it...but she was thrilled with my results so far. Made me feel better :)

That's great news. Love the new pic too btw! I haven't had any labs again and they told me 6 mo so makes me nervous. I'm sure u are doing great :) I totally understand the feeling slow and down about it..I totally get it. Glad u got such a good report

I'm so sorry to hear that. U have been through alot lately. I hope things get better. Have they done a ct or MRI? Be strong and praying they find out what wrong soon.

They did both...it's definitely neurological...dont see that doc until sept.....it's a teaching hospital, so appt.s are super hard to get. I still need the graft in my neck stented or revised...I am, however, losing greatly... 15 lbs. To onederland!

I over heat and sweat all day too. I still can not stop my bp meds yet. I keep tripling out. They have no reason why I'm bay red and sweating all the time. I'm on a estrogen patch. I hope my liver biopsy in two weeks gives us answers.

You're so sweet! I just noticed our stats are about the same...but you've lost way more than me. Good to know I'm not alone on the slow loser bench. I guess we are just too hard on ourselves...trying to keep positive and move forward.

Amen! I battle trying to stay

Positive and just getting down. I think we all get kinda rough on ourselves..we just want to have this work so badly! U def aren't alone in this. I go weeks without seeing the scale move. Now I just want to lose the 2lbs I've gained back and that aren't wanting to go! Hang in there!! Hoping its all worth it for us in the end!

The sweating is such a pain in the butt! It's like waves of heat and i get a prickly feeling down my arms and torso when it happens. Each flash last about 30 seconds...but goes on all freaking day long!!! The nurse should call me today with blood results. Hoping you get answers with your biopsy!

Don't stress...you will be fine. Kuddo's to you for waiting so long to indulge. I've certainly had my moments :)...We are only human and can't expect to follow the rules each and every day. For me, that just makes me fail when i'm so restricted on what i allow myself to eat.

Dont stress! We will all make mistakes and need to just move on! I am surprised you were even able to eat it all. I physically cant eat that much. Guess thats a good thing!

      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!
