Had a bad month



Recommended Posts

I had a doctor's visit yesterday. It had been 4 weeks since my last visit. Now, at my last visit....I had lost 11 lbs in 4 weeks. At my visit yesterday? A whopping 0.4 lbs in 4 weeks. I was disappointed and frustrated. I am ok with it now, I mean, it's still a loss and not a gain, right? It was just frustrating because it is the first time since surgery that there hasn't been any real weight loss.

The last 4 weeks have been rough. I've been suffering from Migraines almost daily. I have felt like crap. I have not been monitoring my eating as much as I have and as much as I should. I did not get a fill at the appointment prior to this one because we felt there was no need. She did 1 cc yesterday. So I had liquids all day yesterday and am on soft foods today. Back to real food tomorrow, and I am determined to get back on track.

How does everyone else over come a frustrating or trying time? Before the band I would have just given up and convinced myself I was not worthy of the effort. Now I know better. ;)

First you have to remember there is not always going to be weight loss every single week or month. Once you realize that you will do fine. Even with the best weight loss patients they don't have weight loss every single month. :)

I totally understand where you're coming from.

I have had a really tough past 3 weeks and havn't lost an ounce. It's beyond frustrating!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
