Can't Believe It's That Time



Recommended Posts

Hello to all my bariatric buddies. I just can't believe it's that time already...SURGERY TIME! Two more days! From the time I gave sleeve surgery a thought, to getting my surgery date, it only took four months. I started second guessing myself, asking, did I really think this through, do I really need the surgery, did I do everything I could do to lose the weight before making this decision, am I ready to give up the pleasures that junk food and those delicious sweets bring me...YES, YES, YES AND HELL YES!!!! I have been fighting a losing battle with weight for over 20 years. My health has paid for that losing battle. I made this decision for me and for nobody else. Yes, I love my family and want to be here for a long time for them, but the decision to have this life changing surgery was for me. I pray everything goes as planned and I can say I am a success story and if that happens it goes without saying I will be here for the family I love so much in the way I should be.

I am an author and have these great novels I want to present to the world, I have songs I have written and want a great talent to sing my songs, but with all the added weight I don't have the energy to do the foot work it will take for that to happen and I have been so embarrassed to speak in a public setting because of the weight. I pray all that will change and I will get this second chance at life. A life filled with adventures and not being afraid to show myself and my talents to the world. Good luck to you all on your journey to a healthier life.

      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.

      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!
