Listen To Your Band When Stressed



Recommended Posts

i know we had this topic not to long ago but....my mother had a massive heart attack and was in the hospital since the morning of the 9th. she passed away this morning. during my time at the hospital and i was there 24/7 i really missed all of you. but with that in mind, and that recent topic we all discussed i kept my diet in check using the cafeteria. (it can be done) and taking frequent walks around the hospital and parking lots. i lost 4 lbs. i know this isn't something that i should even be thinking about but my mom knew how important all of this was to me. she would have been proud. so when something stressful happens in your life, listen to your band.

So sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I know how awful that is, and though time dims the initial pain, the loss of a mom leaves a gaping hole in your heart….and in your life. But how great that you were able to find the strength to stick to your program. That is wonderful.

      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.

        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!
