Not at all. Actually, I hate to say this, but you will experience many plateaus throughout this journey. Keep in mind that you are taking a lot less calories in and your body learns to expect this and reacts by holding onto calories (starvation mode). You can trick it by fluctuating (i.e. 800 one day, 1000 the next) and it should help to jump start your metabolism (that's what works for me). Be sure if you're exercising to figure that in, as you need to be sure you're getting enough calories in that your body isn't sliding into starvation mode.

Hope I wasn't too confusing LOL

My suggestion is to not get on the scale so much- there will be flucuations from day to day. I weigh myself once a week. If I weighed more often I know I would be dissapointed anytime the scale didn't move, or God forbid went up. Best wishes!

Thanks for the advice. Not too confusing. I will try to "shock and awe" my body

I have to agree with the others...9 pounds is great for 2 wks. There will be times you will have plateau's unfortunately. I do too. One of these days soon you will get on that scale and have another good weight loss! Good Luck

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
