Hi all,

So I've been down this road before and am just about at a loss for words!!! It's been 4 weeks since the scale moved and I'm not concentrating on that, I'm trying to focus on my body and losing inches but I don't seem to be moving in inches either!! I've upped my Protein and Water intake and have even been hitting the gym!!! In all honesty I feel like I'm done losing or even as ridiculous as it sounds I feel like my body has called it quits and my tool is no longer working :( I'm not discouraged by any means I am down 93 pounds in 6 months!! It's pretty amazing and I feel a ton better!! Highest weight: 266 current weight:173..I have hit my dr goal of 175 but would like to lose another 20lbs or so!! I just don't know what's going on with my insides!! Help!!!!

I've tried searching stall threads on here but I'm not very savvy on navigating this site lol

I have a couple questions first.

Are you logging your food?

How many calories are you getting in each day?

I am logging my food and just had my 6month follow up with the dietician and she said all seemed to be ok with what I was eating. I'm getting about 1200 calories a day and can't figure out what else is going on

You and I started out very close to the same weight. I was 256 starting out and 175 was my doctor goal weight. He said he expected me to lose more, but at 175 he felt like the surgery was a success. When I hit 6 months I started to stall quite a few times. Then out of no where my body would start losing again. I stuck with my program and began increasing my Protein intake. I am now 15 months post op and I weigh 132. The last 40 have been slow coming off, but they are gone. My loss in inches was slow coming off, but they are off. Stay strong and stick with your plan.

      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!
