How big were you at your highest if you don't mind my asking. My dr says I'm loosing too slow and I'm kinda stuck. I'm a little over 4 months out and have lost about 65 pounds. I've been fluctuating. I've also been working out and eating right. I'm just kind o depressed right now.

How big were you at your highest if you don't mind my asking. My dr says I'm loosing too slow and I'm kinda stuck. I'm a little over 4 months out and have lost about 65 pounds. I've been fluctuating. I've also been working out and eating right. I'm just kind o depressed right now.

That pic was 2 and 1/2 yrs ago. I was about 274. I'm 5 1/2 months out from my pre surgical weight of 237. Now I'm at 83# down. I'm currently 154. 26 lbs to go if I want my original goal of 130. But I think I'll be good at 140 or between the two.

I stall and working my butt off at the gym breaks the stall. I will hop on the treadmill for at least half an hour between 4.2 and 4.5 mph. I'll do weights there if I have time. Sometimes I do Mari Windsors Buns and thighs Pilates!!!!! love Pilates.

I had a month stall where I went up and down a pound that month. I think the stalls are just allowing our bodies to bounce back and recover from the weight loss. Don't let not losing get to you. I did at first but it is a stress that I didn't need in my life so I let it go. I thought I was a slow loser. I wished I would have recorded the weight lose each month. But I know the first month I lost 20. At 3 months I believe I was 54 down. So I don't think 65 at 4 is too off track from many of us. I hope that helps.

      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!
