Recommended Posts

2 months post op and I hit a week with no weight loss. Is that normal?

It is abnormal if you don't hit an occasional stall - the third week is a typical time for such things and then more randomly thereafter. I am one of the abnormal ones who only had one week during my entire loss period when I didn't show a loss; even a bit of gain here and there would not be abnormal - there are lots of things that can cause a bit of temporary Water retention - hormones, variations in dietary sodium, medication changes, changes in diet or exercise/activity routines, phases of the moon (jk)....

It is VERY normal. You will reach a point when you slow down, and it will freak you out. But, you are going to keep losing, just much more slowly than what you've been doing. Keep doing all the healthy things you know you should, and keep that exercise steady and constant. You are still on the right path.

OMG, so normal, and oh so frustrating. Remain focused and you will see results, but don't be surprised that this is your first of many stalls.

Good luck

Thanks for the encouragement. So hard to see the scale slow when you've been seeing a loss of .5lb to 1 LB a day. :)

Very normal. I hit goal by a year and had many very long frustrating stalls. I freaked each and every time for nothing. I had two six week stalls, but lost inches during this time. You'll get there. Relax and enjoy your new life.

      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!
