This is who I do it for!



Recommended Posts

I am going so strong because I do it for my daughter... I am very unhealthy and have been fighting and going through hoops and obstacles just to get this surgery. My whole mind and thought process has changed and my daughter is growing up with healthy habits. I would be devastated if I passed because I couldn't change or even get this surgery. She needs a mom and I will be there to see her grow up. My fiancé Miranda is very supportive as well and she is on the healthy band wagon with me also. I am doing this for my DAUGHTER and also for ME. I have had a lot of negative feedback from so called friends and family but at the end of the day it is my body and my longevity! Who are you doing this for? What are your goals?

I had surgery for myself first and foremost. I wanted to LIVE my life with my kids not just sit on the sidelines and watch it pass by. I wanted to be in front of the camera not just be the one taking the pictures. I wanted to ride roller coasters WITH them not watch from the observation deck. I wanted to feel great in my swimsuit and look great in my jeans. I didn't want to be the fattest mom in the room any more and I didn't want to sweat my way through every class party and field trip.

I want to live to see my grandchildren and maybe even my great grandchildren. I want to be healthy and I want to be the same me on the outside as I am on the inside.

BEST.DECISION.EVER.

And your baby girl is ADORABLE.

I'm doing this for me so I can be a healthier and more active mom for my only child. He's 10 and doesn't see mommy as fat and out of shape but I certainly see and feel it. I want to live long enough to be around for him and his children and if I have my grandmother's longevity his grandchildren's 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!
