Ok I'm confused I am not losing any weight...I had my fill last week and have moved to lentils and soft foods and I'm off the Soup but now I'm not losing weight...is it the lentils? I'm kind of bummed out..my portions are about 4oz each time...

You are not going to lose weight every single week. It just doesnt happen, however lentils being high in Protein are very high in carbs also.

Weight loss isn't instantaneous it takes time. But you also must remember fills have absolutely nothing to do with losing weight. The fills add Fluid to your band to control your appetite and suppress hunger. It has nothing to do with your metabolism.

The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume- and that isn't a quick process.

Best wishes.

please forgive me now if i am coming across harsh.

short and sweet.....you are still recovering from major surgery.

so stop weighing constantly

you are swollen and have fluids and gas and all that goes along with it.

the first month is for basically healing and getting your mind frame in the game...so dont worry about (not losing right now).....

follow your dr's guidelines..stick with it no matter what

soon, very soon, you will notice a big difference...you must heal first and the best thing you can do is realize this is a process and not an overnight miracle.

Exercise of any kind will help recharge a possible low metabolism. Try some walking each day. And it takes time to lose weight and it doesn't stay everyday. Remember how long it took us to get out weight out of control.

Best wishes

      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!
