When did you have your surgery? What are you eating ? If you are dropping weight still then that is what really counts. Are you working out? Everyone's body is different and weight loss is different for everyone! It will take time. If you are doing the right things, then the weight will come off. Maybe not as fast as we would all like :D but it will.

I had my surgery on March 30th. I follow my plan relig out because I have a spinecan I work out because I have a spine problem. I saw on this site some exercises that you can do while sitting down. I will be trying that starting tomorrow. it is just really painful for me. but otherwise I stick to my plan I go to the scale everything expecting a drop but I stay within a pound or two.it is very discouraging because I really really and trying really hard.

Check in with your surgeon or at least call the nurse if you have concerns. I can't tell that there are any "tricks" at this early stage ... just follow the plan as directed by your doctor. Good luck!

I agree with Maggie and Jeanie.Also, I used to weigh myself everyday too. I used to get discouraged also because I wasn't dropping fast enough and my weight use to fluctuate between 1 to 2 pounds at times. I do not weigh myself like that anymore. But I know I am progressing because of how I feel and my sizes. I have gone from a 22 to a size 12 now in jeans. No more elastic stretch :D ;) I am in the zipper and pocket club now!!!! HHHHHEEEEEYYYYY!!!!! I also went from a 2xl shirt to a large. Okay supermodels watch out! :angry: :rolleyes: :lol: It will happen it just won't be as quick as we want it.But I do agree. If y have concerns you should talk to your surgeon. 30 pounds is still wonderful and still a loss. Your body has to realize your different eating lifestyle and get used to the change. It will come off the way and time it's supposed too. If you feel depressed and discouraged talk to us. We are all in this together. We can offer support and encouragement. :P Now let's DO THIS!!!!! ;) :angry: :D :lol:

You had your surgery March 30; you're not really active, and you've lost 38 pounds. I don't see the problem. You're doing fine. (???)

I had my surgery 3/25 and I am down 32 pounds and I felt the same as you that the weight is coming off too slow and was comparing myself to others and was not enjoying every pound that I was losing. I would try Water aerobics you would love it. I have lost inches big time and can fit in pants that I could NOT even get up my legs. So it will come off, I have had a few stalls where the scale have NOT moved at all but it will start to move again but for you water may work.

You've lost 38 pounds in 3 months and a week! That's slow? Not sure we're you started but whenever have you lost like that before? You're way too harsh on yourself. At this rate you will lose 140 pounds in a year. Not slow in any one's book.

      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!
