B-A-N-D-Y M-O-U-S-E !!!

I feel like I have finally joined the club!! Well the "gang' really. I am back from Ontario...just in time for snow here in Calgary. Feeling OK with some discomfort yet... BUT I have lost 10lbs since surgery on the 27th. I am sure most of this is do to not being able to handle even 1000 cal/d yet.

The good news is I am finally not Class III Morbidly Obese... I have dipped below 40 BMI .... I am now a Class II citizen just plain Obese. I am going from FAT to PHAT. More importantly my diabetes sugar levels are in control and I finally have a sense of some control over my life.

I will post later more details on my surgery but I want to unpack now and catch the Blue Jays game.

P.S. -- I got Sidney Crosby's signature on a peguins jersey...unfortunately I had to buy a jersey for him to sign as I had mine stolen from my rental car prior to game. Oh well....

God Bless and thanks to all those well wishers!!!

Welcome back CanMacDaddy, glad to hear everything went well for you. That is too bad about the jersey, at least now you have a signed one make sure you protect this one.

      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!
