Time, the first few months we lose weight so fast that it's scary. It will slow down after a couple of months, but just stick to the plan. Get your Protein, Water and Vitamins in so that you lose fat and not muscle and start an exercise program as soon as you can. You're going to be thrilled with this ride! :)

hey time4menow - "changed the batteries in my scale, too funny" :lol:

I guess some people might change the batteries if they are NOT losing weight, but you changed the bateries cuz you are losing weight.

Oh well, thats ok too. And BTW maybe at first it is Water weight loss, but we'll take it any way we can :)

continue doing what you are doing

Even if you gained... you were given fluids in the hospital, you had trauma to your cells, ... I could go on... but I'll stop!! LOL

Congratulation!! And Celebrate your successes!!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
