50 Days in and I have a couple of Questions......



Recommended Posts

I guess this is the Room I start in. I am a 36 Year Old Guy and my starting BMI was 35. I am 6'6". I was at 305 and got to about 294 the day before surgery. I have been about 50 days since Surgery and seem to be stuck at 281.

My goal is in the 230 Area for a total of 75 Pounds. I have been getting a lot more exercise and I need to ramp it up. I eat about half of what I used to eat. I cut out Soda with no probblems, but I miss Beer a ton.

I was surprised that I lost weight from strange places to begin with. Tops of my Feet and my Butt. Face and Neck were a welcome surprise, I wish more of it came from my belly.

My attitude is good, I know I made the right decision. Now I just need to pay for it since insurance gave me a big, fat 0.

Regards,

Thor

I got stuck at 218 and again at 210. I learned that I have to kick up my exercise and be more on target with my food when I get stuck. Hubby just told me last night that the weight seems to be coming off more above the waist.. My hips, thighs and belly aren't going down as fast and I am running. Sorry about the insurance. It is worth it. Just don't get frustrated keep at it. You will break past this wall.

      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.

      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!
