I went out for a sleeve of ice cubes for our Labor Day party today. I paid the man and asked him for help putting it into my car as it was too heavy. The ice sleeve was 6 bags of ice each weighing 7lbs, so it was 42 lbs total. He was too busy to help so I had to do it myself I was very irked about this , and I put the ice into my car. It seemed so heavy to me! I was mentally cussing him out as I got into my drivers seat, then it dawned on me . I realized that this time last year , I was 84 lbs heavier , TWO of those ice sleeves. No one helped me carry that extra weight around. The visual of carrying 12 of those ice bags around seemed surreal to me, I blew my own mind!

      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!

        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!
