Sometimes inches show more than scales. It is always a good idea to take measurements too. You may be losing more than you can see.

This is day 8 for me and it took the first week just to lose the IV liquid weight. But happily I am down 5 #s since my origional surgery day weight. Definatly take measurements too.

I lost 55lbs pre-op which gave me a big advantage post op. I am glad that I didn't have so much to lose after surgery and had such a short goal of 60lbs. I only have 15 more to go.

I am sure I will be there by my 6 month mark which is November 9th. I am just a little over 3 months out and losing slowly, but every loss is a loss and I am happy with it. At least I am not gaining!! :)

I would never be considered a quick loser, but seeing as this is a LIFE LONG change, I'm totally ok with that. Try not to compare yourself to others, and DEFINITELY don't sell yourself short!! You CAN ALWAYS do so much more than you ever dreamed possible!!! I'm living proof of that.

Celebrate your losses and be proud of your journey.

Take photos of yourself, before an durings, keep measurements, keep logs of all your NSV's... these will brighten your day when the scale is being a poopy butt. :)

Good luck!!!

      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'. ???

        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!
