You'll lose as much as your body wants you to lose in the first month. Everyone - and I mean everyone - is completely different in their weight loss journey. Focus on the rules (protein, hydration, Vitamins, etc.) and the scale WILL go down! A number does not define you!

The more you weigh the more you'll lose...so definitely don't compare to everyone on here. But I like to get an idea of where everyone else is also. I'm 4 weeks out and lost 20 pounds as of this morning.

That's not always true because I was considered a lower bmi of 40...its not low but its not high in the sense that it was 50 or more and I lost quite a bit the first 3 weeks out...30lbs. It varies by the individual. I just dont want people with a higher bmi to be upset that they dont lose that fast either

It is kinda true. I know not EVERY single persin that weighs more will lose more...but they tend to lose a lot more in the first month than people that weigh less. Its actually a fact

If its an average (if they tend to do so) its not a fact...its similar to saying people who are younger will have less skin issues than those who are older.

I'm not being argumentative I just dont want others to believe all they hear. I know every individual is different so I dont believe that stuff. .you saying its a fact is the only time I felt I wanted to correct you. I'm not here for arguments either. Sorry.

Is everyone weighing themselves daily? Seems a bit obsessive I'm 5 days post op and feel no need to weigh myself Will let the nurse weigh me at my first post-op visit 6-26. My responsibility as I see it is to follow my Dr andNut instructions the weight loss will follow. Some of you sound tormented by the scale. Just an observation

It is very different for each person. I know that I personally (why I actually stick to a diet lol) am a fast loser. Even when I was a low bmi it came off quick, I just never kept if off :(. NOw my bmi is high, I think it's 50 or 51, so I'm expecting (and hoping!) that it drops just as fast.

      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!
