My Journey , My Rollercoaster , My life



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone my name is Angel I'm 37 years old. Surgery date Nov 3rd 2016. My highest weight was 245 my pre op weight 235 my weight as of today is 206. I want to be more into this life changing event of eating healthy and paying attention to my body and its needs , but continue to struggle with realizing if I want to lose the weight and keep it off its going to take willpower and a genuine desire to become healthy. I find myself testing out what bad foods i can still eat and how much without causing my weight loss to haul. Does anyone have any suggestions for improvement in my eating habits and mental mind set to keep me on this journey of becoming physically fit and willpower to keep me losing.post-306704-14801553997664_thumb.jpg post-306704-14801554159446_thumb.jpg

@AngelNov2016...first, you are gorgeous both before and after, gosh darn I wish I could wear hats as well as you do! Only advice I can offer on the willpower and changing habits, etc., is....One. Day. At. A. Time. Sometimes, not even 1 day at a time....it's one moment at a time....one CHOICE at a time. There is always choice...do I eat this? Or that? Am I physically hungry, or just mentally hungry/bored/stressed, etc. Should I workout, or sit on the couch watching TV? Has to be about choice, and priority. Prepare things in advance, choose movement over sitting whenever possible. Unfortunately there's no magic bullet for a healthy lifestyle, other than just doing it.

@@AngelNov2016, girl you are to rocking those hats! And, you look great! Keep making the right choices and know the difference between hunger and craving. Keep Protein in your possession at all times. And exercise, exercise, exercise. Know what to do when you feel stressed or overwhelmed ahead of time.

      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!
