Am I nuts or...



Recommended Posts

I just realized that since I started losing weight I have been purging my house of crap. All kinds of junk, 8 garbage bags full of clothes, 6 carloads of boxes, more to come - all to the charity shop. It's like my house is a metaphor for my body, or the other way around. Maybe I just have more energy and am doing what needs doing finally.

Have you found anything similar?

Hey Ginger,

I did the same thing a week before my surgery. I took 4 bagloads of clothes to Vinnies (charity store), filled my garbage bin with junk and listed a number of items on ebay. I got rid of any clothes that were too big, I only kept in my closet the clothes that fit now and the ones that were too small have gone into hiding for a party in 2 months time! I can't wait to go shopping in there!!

I had a talk with DH last night about the junk food in our home and we both agreed that I didn't need it and he's a diabetic and most he shouldn't have as well. Most of the junk food we had I took to my students at school and now they think I'm the most coolest person on campus.:)

I find that they tell me more things than I really need to know. LOL

Everyday, they ask what will I bring the next day. Thankfully it's just about gone, except the ice cream. I'm saving that (only about 3 or 4 mouth fulls).

      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!
