ANOTHER wake up call for me!



Recommended Posts

I am having my sleeve surgery in June. I have been feeling so up and down about it..one minute I can't wait, the next, I am scared to death. Well, today was yet another reminder as to why I AM doing this. I work with 2 yr olds, I was sitting on a little chair while the kids were playing. The toy they were playing with came apart, and I needed to get on the floor to fix it. I could not figure HOW I was going to get from the chair to the floor. It's the first time that has EVER happened to me. I ended up kinda falling off the chair onto the floor. I NEVER want to feel that shame and humiliation again!!!!

I was at work and dropped my pin on the floor........ humiliation........my patient looking at me trying to get it off the floor. Then when I stand up to talk to him after what seem like two minutes trying to get my pin I was red in face..... I am going in May and had been back and forward happy then scared. Now I am so ready!☹

I had to sit on the rug in my kindergarteners classroom last week for a story. I felt like a fool when it was time to try and stand up.

I HATE getting up from the floor. It's a horrible sight. And lately, getting down is just as ugly. But that's all going to change! I can't wait to be "normal".

I know how you feel. I have become an expert at picking things up(at home) without beding over, using my feet! I just want to live a normal life. I miss the days when I could squat down and talk to the kids in my class face to face, now they have to look up at me because I can't get down there. It's sad.

I was just having a small anxiety attack yesterday and my snug pajama pants ripped right down my butt when I sat down. I think this pushed me a little to the excited side lol

I went to a paint night with friends last night, and as soon as I walked in, I panicked because my 1st 2 thoughts were...the chair isn't going to hold me and the apron isn't going to fit. Thank goodness it was fine, but it sucks. I'm sorry about your pj's, but just think about all of the cute new ones you will be able to buy!!!

      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!
