I reeaaallyyyy miss that strong restriction too. :( anyhoo, when I was about 5 out, I noticed I suddenly could eat more and my appetite was much stronger (boy, now I wish it was how it was at 5 months post op! Ha) but I stopped losing for a month. I didn't gain but I didn't lose. As hard as it was, and gosh was it hard, I went back to Protein shakes for 2 weeks. Nothing but shakes. I don't know if I could do that now at over a year out, but at 5 months out the surgery was still new enough for me that I was able to hang in there and do it. From there I went on to achieve well below my goal weight. It was really a turning point for me. Maybe that's where you are. Give the shakes a shot! Good luck!

Did you only do shake and nothing else. No other source of food and for how long.

Only shakes for two weeks. Then I reintroduced lean Protein slowly after the two weeks were over.

Try to relax. Your body is working hard to adjust itself to thr new tummy. Just forget the scale snd just take your measurements. Concentrate on getting your Water and Proteins in for each day.

Thank you, I'm gonna try it to see if I can brake the plateau. We're you hungry at all, that's what I'm afraid of. I have a very hard workout regimen

And not sure if Protein Shakes alone are going to sustained me

I am on a 4 month stall! and can not figure out how to break it!

I have increased Protein, increased Water

I walk3-5 miles 5 x's week

ride bike3 x's 10 a 20 miles

wii fit daily 45 minutes

run 100 flights of steps 4 x's a week

and lift weights 3 x's a week

nut said to add 200 calories

I did and lost 2 pounds,

the next week gained 3 pounds!

so now, Im eating no food,

only drinking broth and Water

this is ridiculous, I cant figure out how to get losing again,

also, When I was eating I was taking in 60 grams Protein minimum,

no sugar foods, 2 ounces veggies a day,

I guess Im going to try this broth and water for a week and see if something gives, adding calories didnt work!

this is the weight I always get down to and cant get past, they said this wouldnt happen with the sleeve, I have been very strict on this journey and am totally frustrated

yes, im happy ive lostn60 lbs, but have not lost since dec 18, btw, I only weigh once a month , so im not scale obsessed, lol

sooooo frustrated!

I think you should eat more calories as your work out is quite strenuous. with such less food body may go into starvation mode.

      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!
