What do we know about us?



Recommended Posts

IMG_4948.JPGWhat

We know what living obese is like.

We know the lost opportunities of obesity.

We know the rush of gluttony ... of sugar racing thru the veins of finally feeling full.

We know fat prejudice.

We know the health challenges.

What we forget:

The courage it takes to make a change.

The power of self love to commit to body altering surgery

The commitment. To this new life...

We’ve been fat longer. We’ve eaten badly longer. We’ve eaten our emotions longer. We are naturally better at obesity then at being post surgery. It’s easy, comfortable even to fall back into familiar stinking thinking and food.< /p>

What are you doing for your new way of life that supports staying on track? How are you retraining your mind?

Be mindful of the favorite foods that helped to keep you fat. They will sing their siren song and woo you back if you do not change your thinking.

Is there a revision surgery in your future? Is food going to win....again?

I’m wishing everyone a safe and wonderful Christmas where the food gremlins don’t pull you back into their seductive arms. Be vigilant. Be courageous. Be full of self love and stay the course!

      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.

      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!
