Moderation just like anything else. I have had drinks since about 6 weeks out and have still been fairly successful.

Im 11 weeks out and I've had 2 drinks over the last 6 weeks. i choose not to drink because of the calorie count, but the alcohol doesnt affect me any differently than it did before. I did not get drunk or even tipsy off of 1 drink... Just my story :)

Even for those of us that were a little weak and had something naughty, just think of what damage we would do prior to surgery. We would buy our candy and then have to buy more for the trick or treaters because we had eaten it all. I would have candy wrappers stashed in my purse and would hide the evidence under the garbage so I wasnt found out. Those days are over.

I agree - I think we've all done well! Lord knows we know how hard it is!!

Congratulations!!! Well, I had 3 chocolates yesterday with my little girl. Today, I have absolutely 0 desire for chocolate. It's the craziest thing. I have NEVER been able to resist chocolate. It's almost TOM too. Normally, I would be living for that chocolate, for more, more, more!

Not only did I stay candy free on Halloween--many, many PB cups owe their lives to me not scarfing them--I am also having to abstain from eating junk food during Diwali which is a huge festival in India.

Take all the junk food you love. Throw it in a big pile. Give yourself permission to eat all of it whenever you want. THAT is Diwali. And I can't do any of it.

I kinda felt sorry for myself yesterday but decided to Celebrate the fact that I hit 60 miles in October, I hit half way to goal today and I planked for 30 seconds now. So I guess life is about trade-offs, and I traded off.

Sigh.

I was doing great... didn't have the slightest desire for any of the candy (weird).. but my 11yr old son was so distressed at the fact that I couldn't have any. I tried to explain to him that I really didn't want any but he just kept getting more upset, probably because it's always been so important to me before. After about 20 min he said 'can't you just have one chocolate kiss mommy?' Resigned to his total pathetic-ness I said ok. He unwrapped it, kissed it, popped it in my mouth and whispered "don't tell sissy" ...too cute!

      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!
