I'm agnostic, but I try to be respectful of others' beliefs including atheists. It's okay to not believe, but it's highly disrespectful to refer to someone else's faith as a fairy tale.

Their are believers and unbelievers.... why hold those that don't believe to our convictions. She don't believe based on her statement. There is no conviction in her heart because it can't be. We were all once there. Those that know God, knows God protected her. However that's greek to her. It's going to take the Holy Spirit to convict her just like He convicted us. Pray for Erica_ozzy73 and be at peace.

Someone seem to have gotton offended by an unbelievers statement.

I believe it goes both ways. The unbeliever is offended by a believer's statement and the believer is offended by the unbeliever's statement. I'm offended because the poster referred to my God as a fairy-tale, but I'm also respectful of not name calling someone's unbelief too.

For the believers' : Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Luke 23:34

For the unbelievers: I just ask you to not name call our beliefs as we shouldn't be doing either. Yes, Christians can be wrong too.

We are all here for encouragement and advice from others walking through their journeys with WLS. It's ok if we want to mention how God works in our lives regarding our sleeves, if we want. It's okay if you're an unbeliever to mention your god or however you choose, your conscience, led you through your WLS too. Let's keep religion (which I don't care for--too long to explain) or spiritual preferences and for sure, political association out of the forums. There is a RELIGIOUS SLEEVERS forum for all this.

Peace out!

Freedom of speech is a right for everyone. She had a right to say it and those who disagree have a right to respond. There was no need to put in a dig calling another person's faith a fairy tale. It was unnecessary and had nothing to do with the OP original question.

      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.

        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!
