I am in a very similar boat! I am approx. 15 weeks post-op and I've lost approx. 62 lbs (I have another 120 lbs to go!). My normal "pattern" has been losing for about 3 weeks, then stall for about 10-12 days. This most recent stall started approx. 3 weeks ago however and is still going strong!

I'm finding my discipline is wavering a bit during these long stalls. I'm more likely to eat high carb limits then I regularly do. Also feeling less motivation to work-out or exercise, and more easily tempted by bad foods!

On the weekend, I decided that I needed to so something to break my mind out of the stall I'm in (along with my body!). So I'm doing 3-5 days of liquids only to purge myself of the carb cycle and remind myself what it was like when I started this journey. I'm hoping it will snap me back onto a better routine and get my body moving again (weight-loss and exercise!).

Good luck. Try your best to hang in there!

those stalls happen to us all. I have been in one for 2 months now. It happens more frequently the closer you are to goal. dont let it discourage you. you will make it through! :)

I agree, I've been fighting mine for two months now. I keep going up and down with the same 5lbs so frustrating. I am an exercise machine and watch what I eat. so this too shall pass.

      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!
