So today I went saw my bariatrics nut , she said I've lost 53 pounds in 6 weeks. I thought I was doing great. She was concerned. She ask what I was eating I told her I eat about 3 spoonfuls at a time. I am at about 600 calories per day. She said to bump it up to 1000 cals per day. Also gave an ekg to make sure ticker working good. I am jog 3 miles everymorning and hitting gym after work. I thought I was doing great . But she says if I work out hard I need to feed my body better. Makes sense , she said eat smart not small. I was sleeved on 4/20 and have lost 123 since Nov . 68 pre-op

Not sure what your surgeon/ NUT have advised, so by all means follow their plan- but 40 grams of carbs seems awfully high to me just being 4 weeks out. What is your Protein looking like? Are you already on full foods or mashed?

You sound much like me. I took off like a rocket and lost like 60 pounds in six weeks. But now I'm at my 6 month mark losing 2-5 pounds a week (down 110 pounds since Jan now). It will level off eventually for you. As long as your labs show Vitamin intake is fine and you're hitting the Protein mark it should be ok.

To add more on my post. I also do the no carb diet with no breads, flour, or sugars of any kind.

      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!
