Motivation (need help)



Recommended Posts

Hi, Does anybody else have problems controlling there eating around that time of the month, actually right before. The doctor wants me to lose some weight before the surgery, I lost 5 pounds but feel like I am losing any motivation that I did have. I have been doing ok not eating all the choc. which I used to live on. Now it seems to be chicken parm.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Okay. I am going to tell it to you straight. Your doctor wants you to lose weight so your liver will be nice and small so he can get to your stomach easier and your waist will be a little thinner so your incision will be smaller and easier to heal. I had me surgery rescheduled three times for various reasons and I had to go on a liquid diet three times. By the third time, I kept on asking myself why I am doing this. Well today, I fit into a size 16 jeans that I have not been able to fit into in two years. and I am steadily losing at a rate of 10 lbs a month. Keep yourself motivated by thinking of how healthy you are going to get and how great you will feel. I know how hard it is but just think of all the success stories you see on this site. You will be a success story to.

Helen

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
