Oh so true!! I keep checking for spills on my chest and I just don't have them anymore- used to be just about every meal.

LOL!! this is so true! I still have a hard time not going to the plus sized section of a store - old habits die hard - i picked up a shirt the other day and it was a size 4x and i thought it was a pretty top - i started to put it in my buggy and my husband took it out of my hand and just looked at me like REALLY?! it took me a minute for it to sink in LOL! But it is a great feeling when it does...

the water/restaurant one cracked me up. I never really drank and ate at the same time which has often baffled people, and all the more so post-op. I learned a long time ago to just place my hand over the glass when the server comes around so that they don't keep asking me over and over if I need something else.

how about your wardrobe suddenly looks colorful as opposed to all dark colors.

Very true – thanks for the list! How about, “When someone asks you how long you’re going to keep dieting, your answer is, ‘the rest of my life.’”

OMG !

WHY, OH WHY didn't I have this surgery sooner? Stupid fear and self hate. The notion that I should be able to lose the weight on my own really had me hostage. Hello, I could not. I sure tried, hundreds of times. But I do tell you something, it wasn't all self control because now I am not hungry all the time and I do have self control. If this is the way everyone else feels about food no wonder I could have never made it on my own.

Every one is on point! I have waiters bring me Water just so I don't have to try to explain that I don't want anything to drink. My kids or boyfriend just trade their empties out with me when they need a refill.

One more to add: When you get tired of looking for a light, interesting magazine for a quick read because all the headlines are the latest "drop 10 pound" diets and you're not interested.

      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!
