Im 5 wks post op. Ive lost 36lbs. But im feeling the blues. I feel like i should have lost more. I still cant eat more then 3 rarely 4 oz at a time. Now certain foods make me sick. Foods i ate LAST WEEK. Im not getting enough protien im stuck at 30-40 per day. Im SICK of Protein Shakes so i stopped using them. I cant get them down because im always feeling over full. I just dont no what to do. Any help or suggestions? I want to drop more weight i have another 110 lbs to go to my goal. But it seems so far away.

I'm 9 wks out and have lost 40. You're doing great. I never drink Protein Shakes. I do my best. You sound exactly like me. It's totally normal to feel the blues. It's ok. Feel your feelings. Don't get discouraged. Be happy during the journey. Good luck, girl. ♥️

In short, stick with it...

You're doing fine...

In fact, you're going thru what a large portion of us went thru...

Yes, it's hard...

Yes, it sux balls...

But this is what you have to go thru...

You must get your Water in...

You must get your Protein in...

If you need to talk to someone, do it!!

An understanding friend...

Someone in here...

A professional...

Your nutritionist..

But rest assured, it gets better...

Keep doing the right thing and the weight will come off...

There'll be good days and weeks and bad...

There'll be stalls...

There'll be little victories that you never even thought about...

But you gotta get your Water and your protein...

You just gotta...

Take care...

Really...

Kinda

      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.

      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!
