Not sure I'm strong enough



Recommended Posts

Last week I finally scheduled my procedure for December 15th. This week my husband and I have started talking divorce. I'm not sure if I can handle both major life changes at the same time. Some times life really sucks!

I'm going through a divorce as well. I just filled 2 weeks ago. You can do it! I'm finding that my preparation for surgery and doing all the research I can has become a great distraction. Each day becomes easier than the last. I have post it notes all over my bathroom with positive affirmations which has helped a great deal. It is a reminder of why I left and how better my life is/will be!

I'm a great listener if you ever need anyone to talk to.

Yeah my situation was quite crazy too. But I feel so much better I just learned to let the stupid stuff roll away and I'm enjoying life I'm able to pay my bills and be a great dad to my little girl. Not going to let one person ruin all that. No matter what.

Also don't forget not only are you going to feel better. You'll be able to do more enjoy life more you'll be able to get into places you never thought about. And you'll feel like finding someone that cares about you more. I know with my weight I settled for someone who really didn't care about me and when you feel better you'll be able to find someone that cares about you not how you look but about the person you are. So just keep in mind that surgery will change your whole life not just your weight.

      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.

      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!
