Hi!!

Had surgery the 25th-- How long did it take you to lose Any weight?? I was 307 day of and then day after I was 317 cuz of all the gasses-- now I'm only at 312 --- so I know I have to lose the gas they put--- but since I'm not eating I think I should lose that extra gas Plus weight---- so I'm bugged that its only been 5 lbs list cuz get the extra gas concept -- but I should lose fat since I'm not eating to--- any thoughts/ advise-

When will I lose weight along if course w the gas weight -- this week I should have list at least 7 of just fat--??

Actually, the higher weight is likely due to Fluid retention. The surgery itself causes the body to hang on to fluids for a few days, but it does come off. I was surprised by how much Water weight I gained. But to answer your question, I think it took about a week to get below my surgery day starting weight. Don't worry, it comes off!

Yeah most likely from the Fluid not the gas, the more fluids you intake the quicker it will get rid of the excess liquids. Good Luck.

      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'. ???

        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!
