I had a four week pre-op diet and lost 22 pounds total. Have lost another 8 pounds since my surgery last Friday.




I lost 20 pounds on my two week pre op. Post op is going slower but that's ok. It's not a race. I'm losing and that's what it's all about. I don't have a scale and I'm not sure I want one. When my pants get too loose. I'll go to the next size down. I get on the scale at the Dr. That's good enough for me. Oh and my surgery was Oct. 3rd I got sleeved. I did not have any pain as far as the surgery. I came home on Friday and went back to work on the following Monday. I have had back and knee pain for a very long time hoping this will help soon.

That is awesome!!! Congratulations on your loss! I weigh myself every day, as it helps me realize how much my weight can fluctuate naturally and I don’t stress about stalls anymore or what the number will be at my next appointment. I worry too much otherwise. It is fun to see how differently your clothes fit during the entire process. :)

I am glad you had a pain-free surgery and were able to get back to things quickly! I think that definitely helps with recovery :)

My surgery was 10/6/17, and I had a lot of back pain also. Everything else went really well and I was worried about it, but after about 2 weeks post op it started getting a little better every day. I did weigh myself every day at first, but when my weight loss stopped about 9 days ago, I stopped weighing myself since it was making me worry. I know I am losing and see it in my clothes so I'm just going to go with the flow and follow instructions. Good luck to you too.

I lost 35 pounds on a medically supervised diet 6 months prior. Then I lost 10 more pounds on pre-op 2 weeks of 3-4 shakes and broth daily diet.

I lost 15 pounds on my liver-shrinking diet August 1st until,my surgery September 5th. if that doesn't seem like much, I have at,72 the,natural BMR, of a. sick🐌 on Anti deppresants, I normally lose weight painfully slow. So if I could do it at my age, I reckon most everybody can. If you only lose 12, don't get discouraged, if you lose 25 Good For You. We all are our own journey person, but guess what? The victories are,all yours too. My unexpected one, I no,longer get stuck in my PCP office chairs. it is embarrassing when someone has to help you up or pop you free. And you learn to Celebrate those little things until they mount up into a BIG one.

      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!
