Starting A New Topic...



Recommended Posts

I would like to start a new thread for anyone who is/was in a plateau and some suggestions on getting out of it!

I mostly regard plateaus as nature's way of allowing my body to adjust to its new reality. Of course, some of the plateaus were my own darn fault (invariably too many sweets) and cutting back on the M&Ms helped considerably then!

Keep the faith, stay with your program, and sooner or later you'll fall right off the edge of that plateau without hardly noricing it. Good luck and congratualtions on having come far enough to hit a plateau!

Thanks! I know it's my eating some bad things-but damn! I workout with a trainer 3xs a week and do cardio 5xs a week! I really hate counting calories and especially now( with the working out) I'm not sure how many to stay at- but I will if i find the right number

I hit my plateau about 8 months after surgery. I've pretty much maintained but losing weight has come to a halt. I know I need to change my lifestyle. I hate the thought of going on a diet.

btw abs6angels, you and I have our surgeon in common.

      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!
