Rather than being excited for last nutritionist appointment and first pre-op with Dr that helps keep you motivated and excited. Instead I find I'm not starving but could eat everything in the house. Motivation Has become slim to non. Never felt like this is the previous 5 months on program. Stress maybe? Comforting my surgery fear with food? I DON'T KNOW AAHH but I have to turn this negativity around. . Anyone else dealt/dealing with this?

My guess is, like me, you comforted yourself with food. This was a huge shock to me. I had no idea how much I used food to feel better. Also, I wasn't super excited as surgery got closer. I was scared. Just guessing here-but hope you get your enthusiasm back. I had the surgery two months ago and feel great now.

Thank you SO much! Your guessing was spot on. I have used food in times of fear, happiness, sadness and every other emotion. With the previous 5 months I've done really well learning to deal with those emotions in other ways until recently. I am however, day by day getting back my motivation to keep fighting the fight! My excited has also been replaced with fear and I think that's hear to stay until surgery is done. Congrats on the surgery btw!! Looking forward to being on the other side

Ah hell yea ... My last weight management is August 18th. I'm the same way. I'm thinking it's the fact that I'm have food funerals. [emoji57] I know after the surgery all bets are off.

      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!
