I've read a few dozen of these posts on here already, and I thought either the poster was cheating or they were just impatient with some Water weight issues.

Now it's happened to me, and I'm losing my drive. I've logged every single bite. I've averaged 816 calories per day throughout this stall, without a single day over 1000. I'm getting 80+g of Protein and all my Water. My NUT says at my current weight, I'd need 2300+ calories a day just to break even.

Over the last two weeks, I've gained two pounds. WTF! How is that even physically possible? I don't understand.

It makes no sense. It seems calorically impossible. It is frustrating. I don't understand either, but I do know the loss varies.. and stalls, and resurmes. Most importantly, it resumes.

Don't weigh often= not daily nor weekly. Gains happen. It's natural. You fluctuate from 500 to 700 to 1000 calories and back so your body has to readjust.

I came to realize I went from probably 3000-4000 calories on a good day on avg down to 300-500 at surgery my body kind of went into shock. You're learning to live this new life just as your body is learning to live with this new stomach.

Apparently, I just needed to log in and whine to a bunch of strangers. The scale started moving the next morning, and I'm back on track again!

      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.

      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!
