My husband is getting annoyed.



Recommended Posts

You know all of those things you always wanted to do but never found the time and energy for? Well I'm doing them all!! My surgery was March 21st. Since then I've gone from a size 22 to a 16/18. I have all of this energy there is no more procrastinating. My lawn is in the best shape ever. I put in a 100 by 100 foot veggie garden. I don't stop until I go to bed. I think my husband is missing all of the down time. Just sent him for gas for the mower! Back to the yard!!

As someone who is married can I offer some advice. Yes we have lots of energy now - I went from playing soccer 2x week to 5x a week. Hubby was concerned I was doing too much. We talked things through and he understands and supports me now. My point is you mention that you THINK your husband misses the down time, but you should really talk to him. Be open and honest you still have a lot if changes to go and your journey is really just beginning.we change so much we sometimes forget to explain things to our loved ones. If your hubby is like mine they worry about us and worry we are taking on too much.

My hubby has been very supportive and I just have to keep reminding myself that just because my life is changing quickly, I have to let him make changes at his own pace. I bought my first bike in 20 years this weekend and he was totally supportive (especially since I got it at a garage sale for $10!!). He's been very patient with all of the errands I've been sending him on for things for the yard and garden and he even helped me plant onions tonight. Our family is definitely the type that revolves around the mom. I'm very lucky in that respect. Because I'm changing, our whole family dynamic is changing for the better, I just have to make sure they can all keep up with me now! ;)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
