Hopefully tomorrow will be better. My cycles are totally out of wack. I haven't had since December (5 months) and no I am not preggers. I can just go long periods of time without one.

LOL I had that happen too. Luckily my birth control only makes me get a period 4 times a year, otherwise I'd be screwed. My surgeon said it was normal and I had gained 6 lbs but 2 days later it was gone again, mainly Water weight I think. Hang in there!

Hey there! This is definately not easy. My time of the month is the absolute hardest. We all make mistakes. Just hop back on and start again. GOOD LUCK! Make sure you don't let guilt get you. This is a journey, we are not perfect or we wouldn't be heavy in the first place. God Bless!

I totally understand what you are going thru...I am feeling the same way...which is what brought me to the site tonight...I was beginning to wonder if it was just me. Guess not! I'm total PMS which makes me 'not care' to a certain extent. I have been reaching for things that have not even been tempting for me...and stupid me...I made Cookies last night (knowing I would eat them). I won't get my first fill until June 4th and can't wait. I feel like I'm totally healed and ready for the restriction. I'm trying to eat smaller portions and don't even feel full. I almost miss that feeling right after surgery when everything was so swollen and I ate very little. I have been making sure that I get my exercise in. I mainly just walk, but tonight got a bit carried away and actually jogged. I could hardly believe that my body could move that fast!!

Hang in there. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!

      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!
