who cares if it is the easy way out?



Recommended Posts

I'm still in the very beginning stages where I'm still making decisions, Doc visits, Waiting for approval, sampling these God awful shakes. There maybe once was a time that even I viewed it as an "easy way out." So far, nothing about this process has been easy. Quite challenging, and I really don't expect it to get easier.

Agree 100 % it's not easy and most people could not handle what we have to go threw and to stick with it. I was always small tell I went on fertility to have a baby I gained and had prob so I know how people treat you different and how people think it's easy way out. I had a friend of mine say that to me and I'm like I want you to go 2 weeks with only liquids then come back to tell me it's easy

Whenever I hear the 'easy way out' thing, I want to challenge people who use washing machines and dryers to do their laundry. Don't they know they can cart it down to the river and beat it against rocks!

And then there are those who use freezers instead of killing their meat every day. Oh for shame, how lazy!

I won't even start on those who actually purchase clothes, completely made, from stores instead of milling their own linen from flax plants, and shearing their own sheep. Not their own sheep, that would be far too easy, wild sheep. They have to hunt and shear wild sheep for the authentic living not easy experience.

I do what is right for me. Without shame. Without excuses. And if someone thinks I took the easy way out? Then I ask them why they feel they need to choose the path not so easy?

      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.

      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!
