Weight loss slow going



Recommended Posts

I had the surgery 2 weeks ago. Lost 9 lbs pre-op and about 8 in the first week post op and 0 since. I was beginning to get worried.

You've lost 30lbs in less than a month. You are doing beyond great. You will have stalls during this process - lots of them. Weightloss even with surgery is not typically linear but rather more step like - you'll drop a bit, stay steady maybe even go up a pound or so, then drop some more, and on and on.

Thank you so much I was getting worries that I was doing something wrong.

do a search for the 3 week stall - you'll see lots of posts about people hitting their first stall the 3rd week out from surgery!



You might also want to start checking your measurements. Many people find that the weeks where the scale isn't moving are the weeks where they actually lose the inches as their body adjusts to the new weight,

      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!
