Getting Filled Today



Recommended Posts

Well wow its been a whole month! I'm finally home now (was in california house sitting for my parents) and today I get my first fill!! I've had no problems eating anything really, eggs.. bread.. you name it. I havent tried anything like steak and I listen to my body if i cant chew something *really* good.. i spit it out. I dont take any chances and because of it i've had no problems. Heartburn a few times.. but thats from the spices i think =)

according to moms scale I'm down to 360 now, we will see the official reading today. I started at 386 so thats a huge thing for me. My clothes are so big on me its kinda embarassing, but at the same time i want to wear them to show the world look at me I am shrinking. (sounds dumb eh?) I saw my hubby for the first time in 2 weeks yesterday and he is amazed at the difference he can see. (had nothing to do with my pants falling off my butt he trys to tell me)

I have been doing good from what I can tell. Its a hard journey and i know people make mistakes. I have made a few, luckily I just felt guilty not sick! Taco bell nachos is a thing of the past now after 3 trips I thought I was going to get addicted! I'm enjoying icecream still but I found sugar free icecream which makes me feel less bad about it. I'm averaging about 800-900 calories a day. I take at least one Protein Drink in the morning and now that I'm home I'll start doing another at night. Once it warms up.. *it was snowing on tahoe yesterday* I'll start hitting the walking trail with my hubby and get some exercise in.

Tomorrow I start my new job at the hospital in the surgery department. I was hoping to loose at least one size before having to go in but I think im still borderline so today I'm going to go buy a set of scrubs just in case they dont have any my size for the employees to wear. I dont want to be embarassed my first day of work. (they do know i had the surgery) I know things will get easier but for now I'm still the "big girl" so I have to make things work for myself.

I feel like a whole new person.. someone different really. The pscyologist tried to explain how this would happened and of course I thought nah.. not to me I love who I am. Well.. the truth is I didnt love who I was and now that the ball is in my court I do love who I am becoming. Its hard after being away from my hubby for 2 weeks when I discovered this now of course I have a ton of doubts and thoughts I shouldnt be having but I'm going to just work through everything and realize that this surgery was the first day of the rest of my life.

Well i just got home.. doctor decided to wait a couple weeks to fill me up since I'm doing so well without the fill. No worries to me of course since I am on solids and can eat just fine and still am loosing weight hehe

my port site was pretty sore when he went filling around I guess its a bit higher than it should be but the tissue is fixing it up or something lol!

      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!
