I am 7 weeks post-op, have all of a sudden been doing well with tolerating foods, therefore have increased my variety. Still eating very little, but not losing...what's going on?

Let me clarify, no loss this week.

Entirely normal I think. Keep trying to get in 4 oz of Protein from something that had a mother three times a day. Drink at least 64 oz of Water a day and try walking 60 minutes a day even if you have to spread the walking into 20 minute segments three times a day. Eventually your body will adjust and you will start losing again.

I am 8 weeks out and I still can't have dairy so no yogurt, sugar free pudding, limited cheese, and other dairy products like sour cream, cream, milk, etc.

Try not to snack between meals. Take your meals at a regular schedule about 4-5 hours apart.

I am eating 1/2 C cooked or raw vegetables at one meal and 1/2 C berries or other fruit (no bananas) at one other meal.

@@Yrkybarry just had first visit with doctor post-op on Tuesday and he said try to eat only two meals and if I am hungry (not thirsty - drink first to see if you are truly hungry) I could eat fruit or vegetables as much as I wanted. I finished the rest of my day doing that and yesterday and the scale moved today. I rounded up, my scale can reflect 239.5, so tomorrow if I weigh 239 I will officially be in the 230s!!!!

      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!
