Yesterday I posted a new post stating that I had a bad day with food . Your posts of encouragement helped me to plan a better day today..which I had. This a.m, I sat down and wrote down why I was on this journey. ..health, esteem, energy, etc. I also tried to figure out what triggered my emotional eating..I knew I was not hungry but nothing I ate felt satisfied me. I figured it was mostly due to tiredness. I had been traveling for two weeks and went to a training class on an accounting system. I was exhausted yesterday.. So far me...tiredness is a trigger for me to go to food. I was also anxious to start a new part time job. But I have to put things in perspective. I am more important than job and I need to take care of myself first. I also must plan to rest during my busy schedule. Thanks to those who posted on my "help" topic. It really helped me last evening and today to refocus on my weight loss journey.

Congratulations for getting back on track. You are your own best advocate. My trigger that has the most potential to trip me up in pain. When the sciatica acts up, a potato or potato Soup is all I can think of. My go to however is scrambled eggs...yum.

GREAT JOB! Look at you becoming your own problem-solver! Fatigue is terrible for pushing us towards self-destruction. But you hit the nail on the head when you said that "nothing I ate satisfied me". Which meant you were craving something ELSE - a great night's sleep! Bravo, sister! You did it.

Now I'm going to make a nice warm Protein cappucino so I don't steal the bread & butter out of my 4 year old's hands while he eats! :)

      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.

      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!
