I haven't been losing weight for at least a month or two. It's my fault. I haven't been eating total garbage at all, but I've definitely fallen off that wagon and am getting back on. Any suggestions as to how to do this in a way that doesn't make me feel deprived? Thanks in advance!

Having just started out so I may not be the best help but: If it's hard for you because of temptation maybe you could try cutting one bad habit at a time, maybe every week or two. You could also try going back on a liquid diet for a week to bring you back to square one. Have you had a fill lately, do you need to go in and have one? Just a couple of ideas :) Hope it helps!

I haven't had a fill for maybe a month -- and it's odd, I'm kind of scared to go back in because I want to have lost weight before going! But you know what, that's silly. I'm going to call tomorrow and schedule one. I think I need it!

Start over... liquids, mushies for a few days. Plan out your meals. Make yourself satisfied. Find things that are lower calorie that you can eat more of. I'm assuming you are like me, where you can still eat anything. Just fill up on low cal stuff!

I wouldn't jump to a fill, get your eating on track first, and check your hunger level.

I'm not sure what type of WOE you're trying to follow, but if it's low carb, many people struggle with going cold turkey. So for 3 days just give up sugar (including fruit), then for 3 days give up what (and the sugar). For the next 3 days give up grains (along with the rest). Finally for the last 3 days give up starches. On day 13 tweak your diet a bit more so that now you're eating just Protein and green vegies...and keep your carbs under 60. Under 30 will result in faster weight loss.

If you're eating under 60gm of carbs you can eat a diet higher in fat. If you're eating over 60, you probably should pay attention to the fat.

If you're not doing low carb, then you can just ignore my post. :D

      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!
