Finally letting go all ive carried for so long.....



Recommended Posts

I am new at all of this. I have completed everything and time is winding down. Nerves are setting in. I just cleared my medical clearance and just waiting for insurance approval and then surgery date. 6 months ago i was all confidence as i was knocking out all my medical appointments and completing each nutrition classes month after month. Today i believe it all set in that i have nothing left theres no more appointments just the waiting game. I'm excited to divorce food and become a better, healthier version of myself. Over the years i have lost my whole family in car accidents or due to health reasons i am the sole survivor of my family and I will be the change. I will be a healthier person and hope to just live life to the fullest have chances that they were unable to have. I am not having this surgery for vantity purposes but for a better quality of life. I love myself reguardless of my weight. With all that said (I have a tendancy to ramble) I am nervous. I am scared that i am going to forget everything everday or im not going to be able to walk away from my "happy foods". i think about everything that im giving up and not aloud to have anymore. I understand i did this to myself with all those foods that i love and the control that i lack. I feel like the only one that feels like this.........

I understand your anxiety. Now that I have everything done and am just playing the waiting game until May, I find myself doubting the ability to control myself once I have the surgery or I have this fear that I'm going to lose it all just to gain back every pound. I think that I am just nervous for what's to come though. We've made the right choice! More than all of those fears of not doing well I think everyday that I'm so glad I started this process!

      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!
