I'm four weeks post-op as well. Net weight lost since surgery is 21 lbs. and seems to have stalled at 204. But I have a scale that measures body fat and muscle weight and I see that while I'm losing fat, I'm also gaining muscle (I'm working out regularly for the first time in a long time). The muscle gain nearly cancels out the fat loss in pounds. So I try not to despair too much.

At my last visit to the clinic, someone who was seeing me mentioned that our Protein levels (thus muscle) takes a deep dive just after surgery. I think the body needs a lot of protein to heal and rebuild.

Hang in there! As long as you're doing the program, you're getting healthier and likely losing a lot more fat than you think you are.

The scale isn’t always an accurate representation where size is concerned.

      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!
