i am over a year post-op...

Be excited about everything--it is all worth it

Crossing my legs in an airplane seat

wearing white pants

being able to clip my work badge on the waste band of my pants - with my shirt tucked in

spending all day at a fair or concert and not feeling exhausted after an hour

taking the stairs ALL THE TIME

feeling good about not eating junk

buying clothes off the rack

getting up from sitting down and having nothing hurt

crying about the number on the scale for the opposite reasons I did in the past

love every thing about the new you

I cant wait to be able to ride horses again, and bike riding comfortably!!!

I was excited to ride roller coasters again and I did so on my recent vacation. Such a great feeling!

You both hit some of my big goals. I so miss riding horses, that was such a passion of mine growing up. I also want to be able to spend time at the barn mucking stalls, grooming, etc...without dropping!

We live very close and are annual passholders to Disney. Generally, their rides are accomodating for size, however, I want to be able to ride in the same seat with my husband and daughter and toddler. And I want to ride the rollercoasters at Universal (they are not so accomodating).

Additionally, I want to be able to sit in an airplane seat and not need an extender or get "those looks" from passengers. You know the ones, "please don't let her sit here."

Most of all I want to live life and be there for my children!

      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!
