A challenge for you!



Recommended Posts

I recently celebrated hitting the 100 lb mark! I was so excited and wanted to Celebrate in a special way - I ended up donating 100 lbs of food to my local food bank. It was a special moment celebrating my amazing achievement.

I initially just posted a picture documenting it to my profile but since my profile is public many people saw it and commented favorably. Several people suggested I make a public post and suggest this to everyone. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do that but you know what - it is a great idea and ironically very fitting - so here it is -

I challenge everyone to donate food to your local food banks in honor of hitting your special landmarks - be it 100 lbs, 50, goal, etc.

CELEBRATE BY HELPING OTHERS!

On the news today, here in Atlanta, there was a piece that local food banks are struggling on a daily basis to keep up with the demand. They have set up a day in Atlanta (June 19) where you can drop off all donations at Publix grocery stores. I will add my 75 pounds (yeah, I'm only down 63 and a smidge but who's counting?)!

      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!
