4/23, Omgness, I'm in the final stretch and I can't believe the thoughts in my head...



Recommended Posts

Confession~ I've changed my mind for a millisecond here and there when I think about the amount of times I will have to make myself eat daily so I don't have issues that linger. It's hard reading users having the exact opposite. I feel it's a bit easier to cut down on food intake than to increase it and spread it out over time....it was just my habits.

See, my Dr. thought this would be the best for me since I already have issues with early satiety and I hated to eat or drink anything cuz mentally it was just pounds on a plate or a cup to me. I could live this life just fine with a pill for meals.

Now after 8 months of training, I'm better with 3 small meals with fruit, veggies and Water, instead of one large meal of anything just to say I ate and sugary juices cuz I hated Water. I think stopping cigarettes helped those changes occur since I hated veggies and water until I quit 7 months ago. Now my tastes are different and I love those the most.

I just hope it all works out for the best and fears diminish on the other side....4/23/14....this is it!!! #PureFearVenting

      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!
