What is your WLS Song?



Recommended Posts

So I started listening to some old music on my ipod today and two songs spoke to me in a different way than from when I listened to them back in the day. One was U2s "Some Days are Better than Others" which I used to like for the music...but today it reminded me that the journey to a healthy me is not going to be a straight line...there will be some days better than others. The second was an Alanis Morrisette song called "Not As We". The song is basically about starting over after a bad relationship...but it spoke to me in a different way as I get nearer to my surgery date. The chorus has the phrase "Day one and I'll start again" which I think is what resonated with me.

So then I got to thinking wonder if other people have a song that inspires, motivates or that just resonates differently with them as they are on their own WLS journeys....

Yes I had (have) one! A couple of months before I went in for surgery I was listening to a song that really spoke to me. It was Michael Jackson 'Man In The Mirror'. I still listen to it and it keeps me moving!

My husband and I had surgery the same day. Our song is "Here's to Us" by Halestorm.

I agree with Roar by Katy Perry. Also Stuck in a Moment by U2 and Long Nights by Eddie Vedder

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
