Plateau Bustin' Princess!



Recommended Posts

I hit a plateau for about a week - I know, I know...some of you experienced bandsters would insist that it wasn't a plateau, but for me it was since I am use to losing about 3lbs a week. Anywho...I increased my Protein intake by adding at least 1 protein shot a day (either 26g or 42g to get a total of 80-100g daily) and I'm happy to say that I'm back on the road to dropping pounds at the rate I am use to - I've lost about 1lb a day for the last 4 days. That week scared me...all I could think was "I can't stop now, I don't have that far to go." Nearly in a panic - I know, the experienced bandsters are probably laughing at my foolishness - these things happen, we just don't want them to. LOL

It's all about tricking the body into letting go. If that worked for you I say bravo! I have been banded a long time and have hit plateaus that became the grasslands of the midwest. HA. But the key is it takes doing something different to get it back in gear.

      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!
