The Wrong Day To Give Up Junk Food



Recommended Posts

Well ladies and gentlemen, I started the day with very good intentions and ended up in my bathtub with a bowl of ice cream. Today I went to work and promised Lisa/Delarla that I would give up junk food with her....but then I was informed that I was being let go from my job. Apparently the company I worked for has decided that it can't support my salary anymore. Just one more lovely event in this really bad couple of weeks i have had. Sorry Lisa. I'll try no more junk food again tomorrow.

Heather,

Sorry about your job. The same thing happened to me at the beginning of April and I just started a new job last week. I did get back at my company by getting both mine and my husbands lap-band surgeries before my insurance expired on the last day of April. Eat ice cream, you deserve it!

You are so excused. Remind me, what was your job? Are you done? Is it official and no work tomorrow? I hope it's easy enough to find another one. Let us know how it's going!!

That sucks! Don't put too many demands on yourself during such a difficult time -- you've already got a lot to think about. I hope you find a new, and better, job soon. Meanwhile, you deserve a little pampering, and if ice cream is a part of that, no one will hold it against you.

BTW, the title of your message made me think of Leslie Nielsen in "Airplane" -- is that what you had in mind?

Leslie Neilson is what I had in mind. Yes it is official no work today unless you count beating the streets for a job. Wish me luck. By the way I do real estate loan closings and also have experience in servicing mortgage loans for Fannie Mae.....soooo if anybody has a wonderful job out there I would love to hear about it.

Thanks Guys

      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!
