I think the band wagon has left me!



Recommended Posts

So Im still trying to loose the 34 pounds the doctor wants me to loose before my second appointment. Well I only have about 5or6 more pounds to go. I feel like I am just stuck. I have been slipping on my diet. Eating fast food because I have been so busy the last few days. Everyday I wake up with the mind frame of I'm getting back on the band wagon today. I just feel so frustrated at times. Why me? Why couldn't I have a skinny healthy body? I am a good person. I have a daycare, I adopted a baby girl who would have been lost into the system. I have foster children. I give back to society. And yet here I am weighing 456 pounds and struggling to loose weight. I just feel like its not fair at times. Does anyone else feel that way sometimes? Sorry for ranting but I have been feeling a little lost lately.

Everyone hits stalls and feels stuck from time to time. You need to pick yourself back up and remind yourself that you need to do this, for yourself, for your daughter, for all the kids in your life. You're going to inspire a lot of people, you just have to keep faith and make time for yourself.

Keep a food log it will help keep you accountable for your diet. Take the kids and go for a walk, You can do this!

I know the feeling. You know that now that I'm slim I'm afraid to regain & food logging is the best cuz once I'm like close to 1200 per day I stop eating. I don't starve I just count everything makes me feel in control. So I try to leave a little space just in case I get a little hungry. I have a fruit around boy how I love fruits. Lmbo never in a million years I would say I rather have strawberry over a burger.

You can do this! The end result will be so worth it. This journey isn't easy and even after u have the surgery there will be other things about post op life that isn't easy. The only thing easier is not being as hungry as u are pre op. Boredom and emotional upheavals were my downfalls. Try to distract yourself. My fitness pal is a life saver. It keeps me In check. You sounds like such a wonderful woman and u are worth this. Don't give up!!

      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!
