Feeling a little nervous



Recommended Posts

So I'm four weeks post op and the first three weeks I lost 30lbs! And this past week I have not lost one single pound :( I'm starting to get really discouraged. Is this normal?

Yes, unfortunately, this is normal. We all have stalls. Your body is confused right now and needs time to catch up to what is happening. Plus, you are probably still getting thinner, it's just not showing up on the scale.

This is the time to really make sure you are doing everything right:

-- keep a daily food journal (VERY important!)

-- eat Protein every couple of hours

-- drink a LOT of Water

-- stop drinking Water 30 minutes before a meal, don't drink anything DURING your meal, start drinking water again 30 minutes AFTER your meal

-- CHEW, CHEW, CHEW

-- exercise

-- stop weighing yourself every day

I'm sure there are other things but these are a few of the things to remember.

I haven't had my surgery yet but from what I read here it is very normal. Stay the course it will break. It's your body's way of catching 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.

        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!
