Hi guys. I had surgery on February 6 and lost 16 pounds in the first week and a half. Then I didn't lose weight at all for 3 weeks. Finally in march I started losing weight again and I am now down 33 pounds!! It feels so good. I work as a corrections officer and my smallest pants I had when I first started working are now loose on me. I just want to say dont get discouraged. I was majorly and now I am so so happy. Hang in there!!

Awesome! I am relieved to hear that, I lost 17lbs the first two weeks (surgery 3/14), then a pound here and a pound there, I couldn't believe it since I am eating about 12 oz of food everyday (broken into 3 meals). Your information calmed me down alot! Thanx!

Hi. We are the same height and near the same starting weight too and the same age! I am 8 months out and have lost 79 pounds so far. I dont want you to get discouraged with these little stalls. They are going to happen along the way. Just accept them and know in the back of your mind that you will keep losing and get to your goal! I am 20 pounds from mine and that is nothing compared to 100 that I started with. Hang in there!

Thank goodness ! I am two weeks out and have only lost 5 lbs !!! THIS concerns me. Maybe I will lose more soon ?!?! I am soooooo discouraged right now. I just started some actual "food" today so maybe I need some in order to lose some weight because I functioned on liquids for two weeks ?

Hey. It was easier for me when I started eating solid food. I swear I was able to eat so much more on puréed foods. Don't worry. It'll show soon. I was the same way.

Oh I'm glad. It'll show soon. Everyone told me they went on stalls but I seemed to hi mine really early. Then all of a sudden it broke and I just keep losing weight now. Its like 7 pounds that first week after the stall. Then two pounds a week. This week I lost 5. It gets better

      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.

        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!
