Never again...(My Declaration of Freedom)



Recommended Posts

This is my declaration of freedom from fat, self esteem, and unhealthiness. I have it posted on my refrigerator for when I want to quit. :blush:

Never again will I be afraid to talk to someone because of what I think they are thinking of me

Never again will I be on another crash diet, or put my life in danger to feel better about myself

Never again will I refuse to do something I really want to do because of my weight

Never again will I not go to an event because I can't find something to wear

Never again will I isolate myself from the rest of the world because I have low self esteem

Never again will I try to please people just because I want them to like me

Never again will I be afraid of airplane seats, waiting room seats, or any seats for that matter

Never again will I focus on my flaws instead of my beauty

Never again will I lose faith in God or myself

Never again will I spend half an hour in front of the mirror pointing out the things that are not right

Never again will I wish that I was a different person, or wish I could go back and not eat that bag of potato chips

Never again will I make excuses for my shortcomings

NEVER AGAIN WILL I WEIGH 280 POUNDS

NEVER WILL I ALLOW MY CHILD TO GROW UP IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT REVOLVES AROUND food.< /strong>

      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!
