@@Dub - Radisson hotels are the ones which were using the sleep number beds. But only certain hotels and only in certain rooms. And sometimes they do not work 'quite' right. If call around and see if you can find one and reserve a room with one. You and your wife may enjoy it! Best of luck!

@@Dub I am almost 7 weeks post surgery and last week my energy levels were terrible despite the week before feeling fine. (BP was fine so that was not the reason). I don't think I am ready that I could try to work 13 hour days at this point with or without a lot of walking and I am a little further out than you. Take it easy and let your body guide you as to how much you can do.

Best of luck! I can tell you will be successful at this battle of the bulge!

7-10 was all I was able to muster this past weekend. Tomorrow starts another round. I'm going for full length runs this time.

Surgeon's visit went well this morning and I was released to try new soft Proteins for 5 small meals per day. I think this will help my energy so long as I get my Water in, too.

I apprettiate your confidence. I'm really wanting to get things right this time in regards to my weight and overall health.

I'm trying to be patient and not take on too much, but I'm ready to get rolling along.

Yep. Those are indeed the ones.

I went by the sleep Number store today and this came up.

I may reserve a room and stay on one first to see.

I only took 5 days off during when I was in pain killers. I worked from home and took a few naps. I was on a tight deadline and had to get something done by the 1st. About week 3 I felt human again and went into the office one day.

The biggest difference for me I only take 1/2 a Tylenol PM at night. If I take more there are issues in the AM getting up.

Also I get light headed so I know my blood pressure has dropped...it was never out of control I just have issues with sodium and Water retention.

      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!
