So I am 6 weeks post op and the scale has been at a stand still for the past 4 weeks. I lost 12lbs the first week but nothing since then...I been thinking to myself this is just another failed diet I'm not losing anymore....BUT tonight while out to dinner with my family my hubby took a pic of me with my daughter and I SAW IT! What is it you may ask? It was my face! It was thinner!

So even though the scale has not moved I have been losing something and that something was fat on my face WHOO HOOO!!!:smile2:

Don't you hate how our bodies have a way of pissing us off like that! You can diet for ages and not budge a pound on the scale, but then all of a sudden it happens! I'm sure you look great!

Congrats!!

Don't take the scale too serious. Our health matters a lot more. Then comes the way we feel about how we look; then how our clothes fit and then we can worry about the scale.< /p>

I am on a plateau weight-wise at the moment and know I need another fill...but the interesting thing is my shape has continued to change-thighs still getting thinner and my "overhang" is shrinking.

Yay Zeniada!

Isn't it funny how that happens? My husband made a similar statement to me yesterday. He said in the past week he has really noticed weight loss in my chest area (snort, of course that's what he's paying attention to!), and he's right. My v-neck shirts are so baggy now all of a sudden. But on the scale, I've been the same for a week. So I think our bodies are readjusting themselves even when we aren't dropping pounds.

Ha! My husband wants to weigh mine to make sure they don't get too small! After two breastfed kids the only things this puppies are gonna do is head south. Small boobs for one will be nice!

      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!
