i am two months out from RNY.

i started my two week diet september 8th at 247

i went into surgery at 240

today i weigh 210

i'm so scared i'm going to not loose any more weight (as clearly i can eat more now)

i'm also scared of stretching my stomach, how easy is it? could it be stretched already?(i'm guessing it's just not as swollen so i can eat more)

these are just some fears i've had for a couple of days

Hi there!

If you stick to your plan, you have nothing to worry about. 30 lbs over 8 weeks is good progress. Look at it this way: If you lose weight at a slower pace, you'll have less loose skin.

Don't compare yourself to others. Everyone's different. I've been dropping quickly, but I've always been able to lose the weight. I did the surgery to help me keep it from charging back.

Hi Breuxo

You are doing awesome. Trust your program. You will do fine. From what I have heard it is very hard to stretch out your pouch. Follow your Dr.'s guidelines and KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE!! Again you are Rockin your journey!!

      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!
