Ok Not Freaking Out But....



Recommended Posts

I wanna make sure I'm ok, had surgery Saturday, went from 249 to 241 on mi liquid diet and now the scale isn't moving, I know about the stalls and how things take time, I'm getting in all my fluids and then some, I just want to make sure I'm ok and the weight loss will come with time ;). Just some reassurance would be great!!!

Don't even look at the scale right now - your body is all wacked out from surgery. I gained 20 lbs two days after surgery with all the Fluid they pushed, had blood transfusions, it was crazy - 3 weeks later I was down considerably more than when I went in :)

Just like the others said, what your experiencing is normal. Your body is going through a kind of shock right now trying to figure out what happened to it. There will be a lot of scale fluctuations over the first few weeks. To be honest, when I had my surgery, I had my then husband hide the scale from me for the first month just so I wouldn't get frustrated by the ups and downs I knew it would show me.

I agree with all of the above. Full of surgery fluids. No worries. Take it out of the microscope, back up and get a bigger perspective on the process. It's ok. Just breeeeeeathe.... ;)

      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.

      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!
