Happy Valentine's to everyone? Just curious how everyone is handling their Valentine's. I thought I would be bombarded with temptation. But, actually I haven't wanted any of the sweets. And I actually told my husband to keep it fitness related when he asked for suggestions since he knew clothes and candy wouldn't work this year. So, how is everyone handling their temptations? What changes have you made?

Tomkitten and I just had our dinner, I tried to restrain my portion size, ate mostly my salad. I'm still pre surg but have lost enough to not jeopardise the small losses I've achieved. Very quiet evening but we like it that way. Shed a small tear,remembering my late husband and Tomkitten's daddy. We spent 44 Valentine's Days together.[emoji197][emoji307]

I know that's got to be hard. So even more congrats on restraint during an emotional evening. I spent last night and today making strawberry- filled cupcakes for my son's class and church plus my normal requests when I bake... So I think that 144 cupcakes helped me not to even want to smell a sweet today🤣🤣

I told my husband that I didn't want any candy/chocolate/food related gifts, and I bought the kids each a new book and some glow-in-the-dark stars for their room. dinner was a fair bit richer than what I've been having lately, but I still managed to keep it within my allowable calories for the day (it meant a pretty sad little lunch though... lol). I even had a small dish of ice cream afterward.

Sometimes, that balancing act is worth the reward[emoji6]

      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!
