Hi, I am almost 8 months out, down 164 pounds. 338-174. I work as a manager of a fast food restaurant. This week, Tuesday I was moved from a slow low volume store to a very busy hectic store. I thought I was doing pretty well at the slow store, but moving to this busy store I lost 3 pounds in just a few days. I try to eat something on my way to work because its an hour drive. I usually eat a slice of ham and cheese for the Protein. But once I get to work its too busy, too hectic to even think about trying to get a little bite of food in or drink. I work a 10 hour shift too. When I get off work I grab a price of grilled chicken and usually eat about half of that on my way hone. I know I've got to find some way to eat a little more somehow.

You are doing great to be able to work at a fast food restaurant and stay so disciplined. I know that must be super hard. sounds like you are prepared and that is the hardest part. Just add a few more planned meals into you day and that will bump you up a little to more food. Great job on your wl success!

Hi! Wow you have done amazing! Is it possible for you to fix something for yourself at the restaurant and put it to the side? Then it will be ready for you whenever you get a break? I used to work at a very busy retail store as a manager, and it was virtually impossible to get a planned break/lunch because you are constantly covering for other people, but maybe if you already had something prepared and ready to grab it could be easier? Even if you brought your own cooler (small construction worker cooler) you can grab and go. I have started shopping (food) for work and keep everything in a soft cooler in the fridge at work. That way I can just pick and choose/grab and go.

      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!
