How to deal with going to events



Recommended Posts

I understand the being "voluntold" thing. Army wife here. And i understand the not wanting to be at functions at a high weight. I was recently the Maid of Honor at my sister's wedding. Oh the pictures I wish I could burn of myself. But, I am going to view it as my "before" weight pictures and be excited at myself and my accomplishments. Those pictures will soon be a reminder of how far you've come. We can do it! Keep your chin up. :)

Don't you just love being volutold!? (Sarcasm lol) and I especially love how everything is mandatory. Like family day and the Christmas party is mandatory to attend (for my husband atleast). And then you can't leave until a certain time. Makes me not want to go haha

Pictures, pictures, pictures. I love them. My phone and FB is full of them. It is a visual journey, at times some pictures are hard to look at but I'm proud of how far I have came. Maybe it's vain but I will make an album of my journey. Be proud of who you are. You were brave enough to have the surgery...celebrate those little wins. Obviously your husband is proud of you. I'll bet he thinks he has one sexy wife!!! A dress and heels? I'm impressed. I'm more of a pink camo girl myself, lol.

      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!
