Hi! I am 3 months out and only 30 lbs down. I need help in what I should eat. I've been eating what I serve my toddler. About same amount However I do skip meals. I feel very discouraged. I do walk and exercise regularly but I'm so worried that I can't do this.

I feel like people that know I got the surgery are constantly watching me and just sizing me up wondering why I'm not losing. I'm just having a hard time and need to reset and help.

Wow, you have lost 10 lbs per month! That's great! Here is a little reality check, people are more interested in themselves and seldom pay attention to what others are doing. And if they are paying attention and criticizing you, then kick um to the curb and move on because they are not a loving part of your life. You will lose more weight and have less loose skin to boot! It will happen, just give it time.

Now it may be time you start eating adult food though. Like lean meats and lots of other Protein based foods. Try to avoid sugars and carbs for a while. You should be at a stage where you can eat regular food now. I eat a lot of chicken, fish, pork and beef. I will then eat a little bit of veggies if i have room. The baby food you have been eating may have too much sugar and is also processed. I try to stay away from processed foods as much as possible.

Hope this helps. :)

thats one of the reasons i chose not to tell many people. I think i was a little paranoid though - "eww, everyone is watching me", much of that was my imagination

30 lbs down in 3 months - hold head up high :)

sounds like you are eating small amounts - no grazing, right??? drinking plenty of Water, not drinking with meals, no drinking again after meals for about an hour - or whatever NUT says

give your NUT a call asking for advise and help

exercising, walking, small amounts your eating - sounds like things are going well, maybe you need to tweak your food a bit, go get that help

good luck

      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!
