If it's interfering with your way of life, you may want to seek counseling.

I totally understand. I met with my dietitian last week and she said in 5 more pounds I can start eating carbs and more good fats to slow down my weight loss as I'm close to goal. I don't want to overdo and gain back the weight. But she said to start one new carb or fat a week and watch the scale just to be sure I don't go overboard. One day at a time Sam. You can do this. I believe surgery was the hardest part and we are well past that. :)

I think if you follow you NUT guidance you won't have any problems. You have done really well so far, and I don't see why you wouldn't continue to do so. Even though there is a so called 'honeymoon' period it doesn't mean that you will just stop losing weight when that period is over.

Could you update your info? You ought to be showing off how much you have lost! :) Just go to top of page and put your mouse over 'patients' there is a place to click 'my patient info' (well, if you are on a computer lol) It is nice to see where people are in their journey.

Breathe in, breathe out - and hang in there! And as someone else said - if your fears overwhelm you get some help.

Personally I think we all should be fearful, it is too easy to gain weight back, we all know this we all have done it before. I don't think you need counselling, just keep doing what you are doing and be fearful!!

I think that is very common for all of us. I am nearing maintenance and do not look forward to the day I have to incorporate more calories. I would like to lose another 10-12 pounds. So, just hang in there and know that is a common fear, especially after what we have all been through because nothing about this road is easy!!

Wow SAM that is awesome!!! Good job.

I've lost around 123 pounds since Sept 2014. Talk to Renee and she can give you tips on what you can or can't snack on. At least I'm a huge snacker. ;)

      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!
