Yes, it is frustrating but remember that the numbers on the scale are only one measure of your success. How are you going with inches lost? What about the size of your clothes?

I think of a plateau as a time when my body is catching up on the changes that I have made. My body has become used to me eating less and working out more so it has stopped reacting (i.e. losing weight). Generally I find that changing something up such as my exercise, intensity, eating a little more, eating a little less, will get the scales moving again.

You will get past it. Hang in there!

Try mixing things up. Eat more or less than you have been ( don't know what your calorie intake is). Do you exercise? If so change what you are doing. I know it sucks when the scale doesn't move, but what about inches? Take your measurements, bet they have changed.

Don't give up! This too shall pass!

      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!
