Hate Being Female At Times



Recommended Posts

Ok so the last and a half week, even though I'm in the green zone, my scales have been so damn stubborn and refused to budge. I've stuck to my food rules, 8 or more glasses if Water a day and increased my walking to an hour in the mornings and 30 minutes on the treadmill after dinner. My weight kept increasing every day, so by yesterday I was five pounds heavier. I've felt bloated, thick and just icky. I'm pre menopausal and haven't had a period in over a year. This morning I refused to weigh myself, got on with my morning and was constantly going to the bathroom so I finally gave in and weighed myself and low and behold I'm at exactly 300 pounds, eight pounds lighter than yesterday morning and a total of 65.9 pounds lost since my pre op diet, four months ago.

I knew it was mainly Fluid retention as there was no way in hell I ate more than my half to one cup per meal. I was starting to get discouraged, even though I knew it would all come off again or the plateaues would end but grrrrr wish I was a man at times that didn't have to worry about hormone fluctuations!!

Just venting and fingers crossed I will be under 300 pounds tomorrow morning. If I am I'm going to cry tears if happiness!!

      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.

      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!
