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!

      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!
