Money Problems, and the joys of 3 months out



Recommended Posts

Firstly let me say, money has gotten tight. I have decided to open up a gofund me account. The link to it is gofund.me/joeywls

It explains money wise the situation I am in, and any little amount goes a long way in helping with costs for me and my wife and family.

Now onto what I wanted to share.

I started weighing in at 435. I now weigh 362 as of this morning....so over 70 pounds lost so far.

The biggest issue is I am still hungry.....not like I was but I still get cravings to go and eat things. Working out is getting better and easier to do. I feel a TON better, and if I wasn't so stressed about the money part of it I would have no regrets.

Anyways, I hope you are all having success, and good luck to those considering it.

I wonder if it might be head hunger? I know for me eating was a coping mechanism during tough times and it sounds like you're going through some hard times right now financially. When you're feeling more stressed do you also feel more hungry? If so, try to find other ways to cope. I've been taking a walk (far away from the kitchen LOL) which helps to clear my mind, gets me breathing, and stops that craving to reach for food. Congrats on your loss so far and best of luck on the rest of your journey! :)

      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!

      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.

      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!
