Tomorrow is my monthiversary since having surgery and I've only lost 15 lbs since my surgery date.. I don't even think that's good. What can I do to help drop faster?

Talk to your Nut and start logging your food as you might be eating more than what you think. I will be praying for you and your dr's to figure out a plan that will work for you!!!

Don't do anything drastic... just stick to getting your fluids and meet your Protein goals... your body will lose when it wants to.

Are you getting enough calories?

Are you a lower BMI?? Cause if you are... weightloss will be slower.

I am 6 weeks, almost 7 weeks out and ive lost 28lbs... and doc said i am doing very well considering my lower BMI... but i am sticking to the plan 95% of the time

You're complaining about losing 15 pounds in a month? Really? I can't understand where everyone gets these crazy expectations of rapid weight loss after surgery. If you are meeting Protein and fluid goals and taking your Vitamins, thats all you need to do. That and maybe work on Lowering your unrealistic goals. BTW, it took me 3 months to lose 17 pounds and I was ecstatic about every single one of them gone forever. I never once thought I wasn't losing fast enough. Seriously, sit back and enjoy the journey!

I'm not sure how many calories I should be getting in.. My NUT never really discussed that and he's out of town until Monday... My BMI currently is 39.8. I'm meeting a majority of my Protein goals and getting in 72 ounces of liquids a day

Well your first step should be to contact your NUT it is unacceptable that they have not given you enough info to make the right choices.

Secondly i would suggest that you log your food daily, so you know exactly how much you are consuming.

You could be consuming hidden calories or sugars that you may not be aware of unless you are logging your food.

At 4 weeks out, don't worry too much about the weight loss... you are still recovering and your body is in shock

      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.

        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!
