I started at 253

I was at 237 after my two week pre op and the day of surgery (June 21st)

Today I am at 223.

I don't know if its because Im going to start my period or what but I cannot stop eating. Not only that, I've been on a stall for at least a week. Uuugh!

In 6 weeks-ish, you have lost 30lbs. Your body needs a chance to catch up, reconfigure itself and let your brain catch up to all the radical changes too. Stalls are inevitable for everyone, especially when the sleeve gives such rapid weight loss at first! Don't beat yourself and don't throw away your hard work by constant eating. You are doing AMAZING!!!!! I only hope to be where you are 6 weeks after my surgery!

You are doing fantastic. You've just hit your week 3 stall. Put the scale away and watch as things start getting smaller... Arms, thighs, neck. Mine was a little later. Week 5-week almost 9 (yes almost a month stall) but don't worry. It starts falling off. I started at 275. I am now at 208. This since April 18th. So hold on. It will start coming off again. Make sure you're getting your Protein and liquids. Maybe up the liquids a bit. That helps me. Good luck and congratulations on your journey thus far

Sleeved july 2...I'm in the same boat! I lost 13 before and 13 the 1st week after and none since!

Just think of it like this, if you're following your dr's plan, there's no way you can't lose. With the calories alone it makes it impossible. Add exercise to it, it the recipe for success. You guys got this. And weight is just a number, it's the NSVs (non scale victories) that mean the most. Smaller pants, shirt, and someone noticing that hasn't seen you in a while that says how great you look.

      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!
