I love all of the quotes on this post and need to print them all out! I was so stressed before surgery, mine was "You got this!". might need a new one now....

Truly a reinforcing "mantra" for making the right choices even in the face of temptation - "It's what I do."

I'm thinking about getting mine tattooed on me. Just to remind myself.

I like what DLCoggin's says:

"You are going to love the new you!"

Saw a good quote attributed to Bruce Lee today: "A goal is not always meant as something to be reached. Often it is just something to be aimed for."

On your journey your original goal may change or be replaced by one totally different. As we change so do our goals. But the original goal got you started on your way. :-)

I've turned to many things in making the decision to pursue WLS. One that helps me hold onto my courage to get the sleeve in July is:

" Every person dies, not every person truly lives"

I always tell myself, "You did not go through all this to not reach your goals. Keep on going." And, of course, I tell myself how fabulous I'm looking.

      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!
