The only excuse they tell me is its because I wasn't that big to start with and I am not going to lose it like bigger people. I was 287 and 5'8. I have lost 72 pounds so far 11 of it week before surgery and 61 after. So I lost 49 the first month. Hopefully my body is just trying to catch up and heal. I am also retaining Fluid so going to go back on my blood pressure pills with diuretic in it

Hi There

Wow 72lbs that's truly FANTASTIC!!!

It's a shame that u had that experience @ the doctors

How about focusing on other ways to measure your weight loss success

1.Tape Measure

2.Clothes

3.Jewelry

4.Sticking to the WLS Rules

5.Photograph yourself

Given what u have lost so far to get to goal will happen by maintaining the Rules

U will get there keep up the good work :-)

      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!
