I went in he said I'm gaining alot of.muscle so he wants me to only focus on cardio right now

So have you been measuring inches? Sounds like your body is changing even though you don't see pounds dropping. Focus on that. If you're working out, I'm sure your body is looking better too. Take weekly pictures of your body at different angles to see progress & keep track of measurements. I started doing that pre-op in case I had a similar issue. As a kid, the scale always said more than what I looked because I was very muscular. It's hard when our measurements are by scale.

Have you measured with an actual BMI pincher ? I think that will help you see your progress. Good Luck!

Hey girl muscle is good. Fat is bad. I get bloated I gain 3 inches in my belly. I stay away from the scale. I imagine if I gain 3 inches from swollen I must be 3/5 lbs heavier. You know what your best friend is your clothes. If your clothes are lose your good.

      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!
