I wad banded 4/6 and lose 1-2 lbs per week but for me even though I get on the scale about once or twice a week I try to make my official weight a day or so after my cycle.because I can gain 2-5 lbs the week before then the week of the cycle with bloating etc.so for me if it looks like I haven't lost in a couple of weeks I see what time of the month it is.if it's before my cycle I'm not so worried if it's right after then I try to see what i may not be doing right or have changed.

How much food are you actually eating? My doctor says 3 oz solid potein plus low fat/cals/carbs veggies. How long can you go after eating before feeling hungry? Is it less than 4.5-5 hrs? If it is you need more fill. It can take up to 2 weeks for a fill to take affect. Before true restriction you get some restriction with a fill but it can go away a couple days after the fill.

food choices this is a big one. Sorry but the wheat thins and fries have to go. There are about 120 cals in about 10 wheat thins. Trust me that's not a lot of crackers. People normally underestimate the amounts they are eating.

As mentioned earlier your exercise habits are another important aspect. My doctor says at least 30 minutes a day 7 days a week.

I am at restriction, exercise 1.5-2.5 hrs 7 days a week, eat less than 1200 and lose less than 1 lb a week.

      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.

      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!
