I do not think I ever had a moment when I thought I was fat. Growing up I was always outside playing, running around, bike riding, and just being a kid. I think it was after I hit the teen years and got into high school, I started with the weight. I was a sophomore in high school and I was wearing a pair of jeans (that I guess were a little tight) and someone told me I had a camel toe. THAT made me self conscience for the rest of the day. Kids are horrible these days. DOWN right horrible. I started with the baggy t-shirts and loose fitting jeans from then on. It wasn't until after I had my kids that I got to my highest.. 290. THEN I was in denial. Making pants fit that I knew I shouldn't be wearing, huffing and puffing just by doing a simple thing as walking around.

I made the change in 2014 but sadly, I am not doing well with it and I feel like the fat failure. BLAH!

My first comment about my weight was at 7yrs old. A elderly man told me that I better stop drinking milk if i wanted to be as slim as my sister. My weight has fluctuated most of my life. The message that high weight is not acceptable is constant. We live in a judgmental world. Now that I'm at a healthy weight, I find that some people will still find derogatory things to say..... It speaks volume's about them and nothing about you.

      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!
