Was sleeved March 10th. Up until 4/2 I had no energy. No matter what I did little or big I was exhausted. Then suddenly I felt good and have energy. The last two and a half weeks not only have I been on a heavy flow period (ladies will understand, sorry men) but I have not lost any weight. From the time of my surgery to the stall I have only lost 21lbs. I am getting really worried that I went through all that for just 21 lbs.

Isn't it way too soon to hit a stall. I am not going over on calories and I get my Water in and am trying to get close as possible to Protein. :(

I'm pre-op so I don't have direct experience but I can encourage your to give yourself a break. Stick with the program. There's no way if you're following the program that you won't see more weight loss... you're body has been through a huge stressor and takes a while to recover. And when you do start losing again, be SURE to post back to this thread so you leave a bread crumb trail for others who might be in the same boat.

Best wishes!

I definitely will! Thank you! And good luck to you Ginger!!! And speaking from experience, if you feel that exhaustion will never go away it will! I have lots of energy now!

Before I used to wake up at night so many times even if just to roll over. Now that I have healed I am might wake up for a moment once or twice. It is so great sleeping through the night.

Now to just get over this long stall!

Good luck to you and be sure to update us on your progress!!

      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!
