So I haven't really gotten off track.. I've been following my food guidelines pretty close. I did try a Christmas cookie.. bite only here and there but nothing crazy.. I did find that sweet food doesn't have the same effect on me that it did before but I have to get back on track with my exercise.. right before the holidays I stopped because I was working 12 hr days have 2 kids and I work second shift.. my weight loss has slowed considerably. I'm down 1 lb since Xmas.. I'm 3 months out with a total of 64 lbs down.. I started my work outs again today.. its a new year!! And went back to tracking.. has this happened to anyone else?

I'm only 4 days post op from my revision, but I remember this happening with my band. I don't know if this is an option for you, but I saw some posts recently here from people who got a FitBit, and I ordered one. It seems like it would be motivating to have something that tracks all your movement and then encourages you to do just a little more. I also checked out a couple similar ones on Amazon...whatever you like, but it seems like something that would help motivate me, maybe it would help you too? Just a thought! You are working hard...it sounds like you did pretty darn well through the holidays with all that you have going on, Celebrate that!

SummerMarie

confused :wacko:

not sure what problem you are referring to??

sounds like you handled the holidays quite well :)

You ate a cookie?you ate everything else well ?

your exercising, recording your food

"only" (not supposed to use that word :angry: ) down 1 lb since christmas?

this is a time period that people unfortunately gain a lb or two, or stay the same. you managed to lose 1 lb!!!

OMG girlfriend - down 64 lbs in 3 months???

your doing great - would i lie to you ;)

only "problem" i see is that your worrying too much ;)

can i nicely say GET OFF YOUR BACK" :o;)

congrats on your success - i know you'll continue to flourish

happy new year

You made me laugh!! Thank you!! I guess I felt like I shouldn't have had any sweets but I didn't do what I've fine in the past like take a plate and watch tv.. lol I tasted one of my kids Cookies that we made and felt guilty but you are right. I didn't even think if it that way. I am worrying too much. You're awesome!!

      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!
