Two weeks post op, I hit my first wall. I've lost 28lbs since I started my pre op diet. I know it's expected in the process, but when did you hit that first wall?

Mine was two weeks post op. It didn't last long. I had simply stopped losing on a daily basis and started to lose in chunks.

Tell me about it! I was sleeved 1/28. I've lost 31 pounds since the day i started my pre op diet. This past week and a half I haven't lost a pound! Def. frustrating. But I've been told it is normal and that our bodies are adjusting to the large amount of weight we have already lost in a short period of time. My question is, when will this first stall end?!?

Mine was about the 3rd week. I didn't lose any more weight for about 5 days. Hit a 2nd wall on week 5, same thing. It takes me 4 - 6 days to start losing again. It helps speed up the process when I walk a little more than normal.

You might want to consider your stall might be partially how much waste your body is holding onto. My bathroom visits are on an every other day basis. Sometimes I'll be over a pound lighter after a monster poop! :rolleyes:

I had my surgery on 01/28 and am down 30 lbs (including the 10 day clear liquid diet before surgery) I have felt like I hit a wall as well so I have given up looking at the scale every day. I just need to tell myself that the progress will happen like it is suppose to and try to only weigh myself every one or two weeks. Hopefully that way I will stay encouraged.

I hit my first wall during the third month of my pre-op nutritionist visits, but that was because I stopped following the rules. I lost 8 pounds on the pre-op diet, started one week before surgery. As of yesterday, I was down another 5 pounds. I'm hoping that as I add more foods to my diet, that I will continue to lose.

      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!
