Today is exactly 6 weeks post op.. I returned to Dr for my follow up.. I have lost exactly 40 lbs... He also said that my body is retaining 14% more Water than it did at my last visit 5 weeks ago.. My scale also has not moved in about 2 weeks.. And l am only urinating once a day, in the morning..

They tell me to watch my sodium intake, but l dont eat things high in sodium.. I dont add salt to my food either.. The Dr said that the extra 14% water equates to about 20 lbs...

Have any of you experienced this problem?? If so, help me please!!!!!

How does he measure how much you are retaining? I tend to retain Water as well but noone ever measured it. What does he suggest for you?

the best way to get rid of Water is to drink more water. How are you on your water and Decaf fluids each day? wishing you WELL!

The Dr is sending me for a urinalysis to see if there is a problem.. The scale he has measures fat % and Water %.... i drink plenty of fluids daily, thats why l dont understand

If you drink plenty of fluids throughout the day how are you only urinating once in the morning? That has to be painful. I hope everything works out for 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!
