Update!!! I did some searching and found that this topic has caused all sorts of snarkiness and negative responses. Please forgive me for bringing up the subject. On a positive note, maybe the eye-rolling will burn a few calories. :rolleyes:

I started on soft foods on Tuesday, started Water aerobics on Wednesday. That's the good part. The bad is that I haven't lost an ounce since Monday. Did I go through all this only to stop losing this soon???

No, you are fine. You hit the famous 2-3 week out from surgery stall. Your body is just adjusting. Just hang in there and keep up the good work.

On a side note, be careful with exercise. It is so easy to reinjure yourself at this stage. I learned the hard way. :-)

Thank you!!! I didn't know about the surgery stall. It felt great to get back in the pool. I didn't do all of the exercises and felt really good. I'll go 2 days next week and then back to a regular schedule of 3 days the following week.

Don't get discouraged.. I had a 2.5 month stall 5 months post op... I freaked... I followed everything exactly, no cheating, plenty of exercise so I increased the distance and intensity and it got me over my hump. You will do fine don't worry it will pass.

I'm 4 weeks post op monday and I experienced a gain and stall weeks 2-3.... this week, I dropped 5lbs. Stick with it and trust in the process. take progress pictures every week...it helps you see how far you have come, especially on the weeks the scale doesn't move!

I am losing very slow too, but I have not been exercise regularly like I should. I am to tried when I get home from my 10 hr shift (I know it is just a excuse).

      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!
