Hi guys! Guess it's time I got back in the game. I went AWOL for a while. So many things have happened over the last summer that I can't wrap my brain around it. First and foremost, my ex-husband died. His wife/widow has been a total jerk to my daughter and won't let her come back over to the house to get her things from the bedroom there. Guess she thinks we are going to take something.

Three weeks later, my partners mother passed away. She was 94 (almost 95) but it still hurt. She was doing really well until she got a virus. The virus got passed on to all my family members and landed my girls in the ER and then me at the doctors office for a total unfill. I was down to 194 at that point. With the unfill and all the stress of planning a memorial service (her mom died by herself as we were all throwing up at home) and the sadness, I gained weight and went back up to 199.8.

During this whole summer, I have had to take my mom back and forth to the ER for illnesses and issues. Things with her have gotten worse and it has been an incredible strain on the family (financially, physically and emotionally).

I've finally started getting some of my fill back and I'm up to 3 cc's. I had 5.5 cc's before the unfill. I was so sick and had thrown up (sorry to be graphic) so hard, that I burst blood vessels in my face.

Anyway, this has been a hell of a summer and I don't see it letting up any time soon. My mom is still sick and we are having a really hard time getting her to stay on any treatment. We've started thinking that she has dementia. It's just crazy. I am going to try to get back on the horse and start losing again. I've just lost so much confidence in myself and my ability to lose weight right now. :thumbup: Not smart on my part, I know.

Thanks for listening...hope to get back in touch with you guys soon...KMCD

      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.

        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!
