I'm new to this forum, so hi all. I have an issue right now with craving sugary foods. I've lost 90 lbs and I'm on week 9. I've not lost anything for 2 weeks. But gosh I get the munchies! I'm not drinking as much Protein as I need. Does protein have anything to do with this? What's causing this ??

Wow!!! 90 pounds lost in nine weeks!!! I think a two week stall would be considered normal if you have lost that much. Congrats!

Sandy's right, you should be very pleased, but not getting enough Protein could definitely be behind your problems. My office says women should get 60-80 grams a day.

@@SimplySam2015, congratulations at your tremendous progress! I bet you feel so much better already.

Definitely eating more Protein will help you satisfy that hungry feeling and will assist in breaking your stall.

Good luck!

Congrats on your lost wow your doing great it took me almost 9 month to loose that amount, stalls are going to happen they are just apart of the process. I would continue to focus on Protein first then Water, do not forget to exercise when your doctors says its ok but i am sure they will not object to short walks. Good luck.

      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!
