Hey guys! I'm back. 4 weeks post op, I'm currently in a stall, but overall I feel great. Today I tried on an XL swimming suit and it could fit (bottom fit great, but I'm very top heavy lol) - I am happy to say that being able to see an XL is great, I'm usually having to try on 2 or 3X. I have tried not weighing myself that much this week due to my stall cause it only makes me upset. I'm increasing my fluids and taking in more Protein Shakes and Water to see if that will help. It feels like it's been longer than a month, I'm 2 weeks away from being off the soft food diet. I do feel like I would be ok staying on the soft food diet due to my stomach being much smaller but I guess with more options of food I'm sorta looking forward to the 6 wk mark. Well, I hope all are well!

P.S. My new swimsuit is too cute.

Hi there! Sounds like you're doing really well. The stalls can be frustrating but if you're doing all the right things - the scale number will be lower. Wallow in the Non scale Victories!!! An XL instead of 2x or 3x? How great is that!!!

It's not a race - truly.. eat the right things, take your Vitamins, and do some physical activity. That's the way to go.

Keep up with the right stuff!

I know we'll hear wonderful things from you!

Congrats! you're doing great. Almost everyone stalls 3-4 weeks out as the Water you lost right after the surgery starts getting replenished (or so I've been told). It doesn't mean you're not losing fat.

I am determined not to even touch a scale (except at follow up appts) until at LEAST 2 months after surgery. Maybe even as long as 3 months, we'll see.

I'm going to spend that time healing and getting adapted to the new reality of the sleeve. I won't get serious about weight loss or exercise until I'm at least well into solid food.

Ignorance really can be bliss. :)

Congratulations on your size change! Going to a XL is a major step. I can not wait! I have not been in an XL (truly without gutting myself) since....I can't remember :rolleyes: .... My surgery is May 13th. Keep going...a stall is just that "a stall" not a stop. Congrats to you.

      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!
