How are you doing?



Recommended Posts

I had surgery 6/5/18 and I'm over being asked how I am doing. I know everyone is asking out of concern and I do appreciate it, but at the same time I don't want to be asked anymore.. FB, in person, in a text. Every day.. if I'm at Walmart I see someone and they will ask.. last night went to a picnic with my nieces through their church and had 3 people ask, then posted the pics to fb and on that post someone asked me.. does it ever stop? Now I just say I'm doing good and still losing and end it there. I even made a fb post to update everyone because people were asking my husband at work, which stops him from work.. I'm not a center of attention person, so I hate when the conversations turn into how I'm doing.. please tell me it ends soon.. and again I am not at all saying I don't mind the concern, just wondering if it ever stops

Yeah... it won't stop for a while... I mean, until you are like the same size for a long time while. I typically just say "good" and move on.

Look them in the eye and just start screaming. Don't stop screaming. As they back away don't break eye contact. The questions will stop then.

The screaming technique sounds like a solid plan.

      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!
