Jacole...

Here is a kick in the booty!!! Hopefully that will work....

It is so hard for us emotional eaters....just keep focusing on the goal and how awesome you will feel once you hit the 100 pound mark!

The band was made to overcome just your issue. I've experienced many life stressors over the past year or so and have 'binged'....but the band keeps me in check. It's a great tool.

Jacole...I think that all of us have experienced what you are going through. I think that we have all been using food in the wrong way for so long that we don't know what to do other than eat when were stressed, depressed, overworked or overtired. I come on this site when I know that I am vulneralble. It seems to help me out. I hope you get back on track. Good Luck

Jacole, when possible, what if you go for a walk or do some other exercise or activity when you feel the stress hit? Not only do you not eat then, but you get moving a bit or get something done around the house or in the yard.

Hang in there you are soooooo close to your goal! You are an inspiration to others. Just put this bad time behind you and stop beating yourself up. You have done great! Give yourself credit for that. Start listening to your band again. Good luck and in a month or two let us all Celebrate your 100 lbs.

      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!
