I'm not updating mine right now. I went yesterday to the doctor for my followup from surgery and was up 4 pounds since this past Friday! I had my port revision then and was on liquids and mushies throughout the weekend. The nurse told me it was Water weight still left from the fluids I had in me from surgery. I hope so - still not posting the gain. I'm going to wait a couple of days to see what happens. Urrgggghhh...

I'm so glad everyone else is doing well!

Thanks Nuke!! I am really pumped today. I was just looking back at my ticker and since starting low carb about 2 1/2 weeks ago I hav lost 9 pounds!! Looks like I have found the "diet" that works best for me. I don't intend to always "diet", but until goal I don't so much mind it!!

We are going on a mini vacation this weekend. I am going to do my best to not gain! Vacations are so hard!!

wombat - the only way I could get to goal right now is through PS, but I'm trying...so I know how you feel.

Renewed - I'm so glad you hit your goal - WTG! You must be stoaked...

Nuke - hang in there girl! I'm going to the beach this weekend - and need to do good. I'm ready to see the scale moving again. I've plateau'd. Darned late fills...I finally have some restriction since my first fill on Friday...I'm hoping to lose another 4 pounds by the 4th...hopefully I can be half way there :-)

Karen - congrats on your two pounds...keep it up!

Well - I weighed today - I'm still 225...the same :-) The nurse told me I am still holding on to some fluids from surgery. I'm happy to not have a gain! Whoohoo!

So, its been 2 weeks since my last fill on the 13th. Then I was 218. When I started this challenge I was at 216, now I am 214. So Really I can say Ive lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks. Not that bad. Sometimes I feel like I am hardly loosing anything. Can anyone help me get rid of my ticker?

      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!

        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.

      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!
