Weight Loss Finished!



Recommended Posts

Went to surgeon yesterday. Aside from complimenting me, he shrugged his shoulders and basically said there is nothing else we need to do.

Don't expect much more weight loss,anything more will be a bonus. If anything, he said he would be concerned if I loose anything more significant because that would mean loss of vital tissue and muscle.

Body fat % well below 15.

So that's it, confirmed by the man himself...definitely on maintence mode now.

Only advice given was to continue the high Protein Shakes for Breakfast, other meals portions should not be larger than a deck of cards, Protein based, Water, Fiber, exercise....see you in September..

16 months total time.....

Truly inspirational...how often did you see your doc during the 16 months? Was it for follow-up or just fills? Just wondering. Thanks and Congrats!

Thanks...it's a very unsettling feeling....ther must be SOMETING I need to do, some type of goal. Just can't say that's it. It's over.

All I can do is stay wih the program which has become a habit now, and continue to exercise to be it and healthy.

You're such a lucky duck! And of course there's more to do- goals to set, accomplishments to....accomplish- they just don't need to be weight loss related! Run a 5k, build a table, learn how to do stained glass, learn Chinese....a few that come to mind....

Great job B52. I meet with the nutritionist in three months to go over maintanence. I dont think I am going to get an unfill. Im gonna see how I maintain with this, plus im still thinking I might do 5 more lbs or so.

Should be interesting to see how maintainence goes. I think its gonna be pretty much following the same rules for a very long time now.

Awesome! And it itsn't really over, it just continues. The same as it was. Nothing really changes. Keep on going, just don't look for losses on the scale now. Look for non-gains.

Thank You...that's just about what my Dr said also....it just continues, don't expect much in the way of losses. He did not want to give me a unfil, he did not want to see any non gains also.

      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!
