Discouraged



Recommended Posts

I'm 9wks post op and down 32lbs but the scale hasn't moved in a week. I have 1.5cc in my band but I'm discouraged that I'm failing.

A week is no time at all, honestly. Plateaus happen and they can last weeks. I've had one that lasted 6 weeks before. I know people who've had them last months.

Just stay within your daily calories, stick to a cup or less of food per meal, exercise, and the weight will come off.

Best wishes.

First things first...32 lbs in 9 weeks? That's incredible! Second, you're not failing. It's probably just time for a band adjustment. :rolleyes:

You are doing great... I had a plateau that lasted 3 weeks. Just keep doi g what you are supposed to be doing...track calories, measure portions, drink lots of Water and see your dr regularly and the weight will come off.

Don't forget that SO MANY things affect out scales. Sore muscles from an intense workout, that time of the month, not having a BM,

Don't get discouraged, you are doing things right if you've lost 32 in 9 weeks...could you have boasted that on any previous diet?...stay the course it will come off.

That is over 3 lbs a week that would be 150 lbs in a year.

      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!
