You are probably still swollen from the surgery! It hasn't even been a month so don't worry. Stop weighing everyday! Weight fluctuates daily try once a week you will be happier! Hang in there it comes off!

I've found that I stick to a weight for a few days to a week and then get on the scale and a little block of weight comes off (3-5 lbs) all of a sudden. I am a slower loser too but the inches are coming off like crazy. Smaller sizes are now baggy and the things that fit 2 weeks ago are starting to look gross. Hang in there - it will happen! You don't see anyone on this site 8 months down the road going I've only lost 15 lbs!! :)))

I sure hope your husband hides that scale real good. I weight myself every 3 weeks, I get too grumpy if the scale does not move. I just put it in my closet, if that scale is in my bathroom I step on it, I can't resist, if I have to go get it and bring it to hard floor I have time to tell myself NO. During the 3 week span I use my clothes for encouragement.

Yea to baggy clothes

Alley, Don't get depressed everyone loses at their own rate. Just make sure you get your 60-80g Protein Shakes and 64 oz. of Water, walk as much as you can ( at least 30 mins a day ) and you'll get there. It's a journey for all of us, but as long as we keep at it we'll all make it. Good luck to you, and keep in touch.

Surgery 11/21/2012

I lost 30 lbs in my first 30 days. BOY was I excited!!!!. 2nd 30 days now and its only 8 lbs total. I used to torture myself with daily weighs and would cringe on the days the scale actually went UP! Now i try to weigh only every 2-3 days. I have also found the more I eat and the more I move, the more lbs I drop.

If you think you're going to lose weight daily, you're gonna get depressed a lot!! You're doing fine, no worries!

      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!
