This post is just for rambling lol. I will be seventh months post op on the 12th. I have most 77 pounds to date and still see myself on a good day in my presurgery weight. I have been in a stall for about three weeks or so which has me a little bumped out but I know this will pass. One area that I am week on is exercise which is funny because I was a fitness instructor for ten years when I weighed over 250 pounds, go figure. Today I decided that I was going to change up my routine. Instead of packing my Breakfast and lunch I decided to stop for a cup of coffee (only have that on the weekends). Ordered some breakfast from a diner and planning to go out for a salad a lunch. I am feeling like a real rebel and renegade today. I will be eating on this breakfast for the next three mornings.

As time goes on you begin to slip into a good groove of what a "normal day" is and how to make adjustments and changes when needed. This is a lifestyle change and one must settle down and get comfortable with who you are and what a glorious gift of life that you have given yourself. Its not the complements from others or the "OMG you look great" comments that make me smile, its the fact that each day when I look at myself I prove to myself that I am worth it.

      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!
