Just walking. I'm not yet 2 weeks post-op & I wanted to wait until my first doctors visit. I was afraid of pulling something.

To give you some perspective, I was sleeved on July 9th and have only lost 23 pounds. You haven't stalled at all. Your body is now going to start losing fat.

Dont rely on the scale, weight loss is a very complex thing, and the body can hold back other things that have mass, and therefore weight. It is entirely possible to lose inches, actually typical, and the scale not move much at all.

Get a tshirt and a pair of long shorts or tights - get them purposefully too tight - very snug. Try them on about once a week or so, you will see the inches coming off.

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.

        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!
