9 days and counting



Recommended Posts

It's official. I have just 9 days left! I was at first very nervous and extremely moody from the diet changes, but I am much happier, have a positive mind set, and the liquid diet is going surprisingly well. I don't even think about food. I am all about the discipline. No is no and that's that. I'm so ready to start my new journey!

Thank you! A year has flown by... just think in a very short time from now you too will be happier and healthier!

The first week (or four:p) are tough physically and emotionally, be kind to yourself and give yourself time :)

Yes, I'm so excited to begin. Thank you for those helpful tips because I can't help but think how ill feel mentally about it the first couple of weeks. I am going to try and take it one day at a time. I live by "this too shall pass" lol.

Yes I knew from reading here that there would be some depressing days. And boy there was! Even though I losing weight I still had days where I just went back to bed crying. It helped knowing the emotions where normal and temporary.

But know that we are so lucky to have this opportunity and in the end it's worth the few down moments.

you may go through unscathed too! I was terribly addicted to food and missed my comfort eating.

I too am a Nov 13th sleever! Feeling very good about this as my insurance required 6 months of counseling and nutrition classes. Prepared me well in addition to the many years of trying to decide if WLS would be too "extreme" for me.

Decided a healthy me is what was best...

I wish you great success!

I am in Northern California. You?

      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!
