I'm just shy of a month out of surgery, so I'm starting to eat a lot less than I ever would before , and have completely cut out unk food/coke/etc - sometimes I'll have some sugars and so on, but my weight has just come to a standstill these last 2-3 weeks. I lost about 8kg (15lbs) first up, and then just.. nothing , if that it's even gone up 2-3lbs (1-2kg) did anyone find the same thing happened ? Is it because your body has just gone into shock from being restricted so much ? I try and eat 3 "meals" a day, even if it's just yoghurt and tea for Breakfast , and I'm on a clean eating program of lean Proteins and vegetables + minimal carbs.. but still just.. nada. Did this happen to anyone else post surgery ?

I am 9 weeks out. I slowed down like you did and have now started losing at an incredible pace. Will blow right past last months record of 22 lbs. With a week to go to end the month I am 25 lbs down. 7.5 lbs in the last week. Wow. I dont know whether this is good or not.

I'm right there with you. I'm at 5 weeks postop and my scale has moved very little in the past 2 weeks. Really frustrating when you feel like you're doing everything right. I'm going to to kick off my exercise plan and maybe that will get me the results I'm looking for.

My scale didn't move at all for a few days after 4 weeks then I had an appointment with my surgeon, he told me to eat more to lose more.

That also when he ordered me to eat solid food just a day after I started losing again, slowly but losing, since then (10 days) I lost 1.4 kg (3 lbs).

I had a 12 day stall 2 weeks out. Most people do stall out shortly after getting sleeved. Follow your doc's recommendations and incorporate as much walking as you can and it will start back up.

      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.

      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!
