We all lose at a different pace. If your exercising than you have muscle that your building, your sister is not and she may be losing her muscle mass. I wouldn't put too much into it because in the long run, you will most likely be more successful at keeping the weight off because your changing your negative eating patterns. You will sustain weight loss longer and permanently where she is giving into her triggers and eating the foods that are calorie condensed with no nutritional value. So don't worry too much about her and keep doing what your doing, at the end of the journey you will be very happy....... HAPPY THANKSGIVING! :)

53 lbs is great in 2 months! Just keep doing what you are doing and it will come off. I was 285 on my surgery day and I'm 205 today, almost 6 months later. You are on the right track.

I probably lost so much because I wasn't working out...I have lost all my muscle. It is gone. I am a weakling now. That is why I caution everyone to start working out prior to the surgery. I didn't track anything or work out either and I never stalled. I just stopped eating when I was full and didn't eat again until I was hungry. I am going to the gym next week to see if there is anything I can do to repair the muscle loss. I am only 12 pounds heavier than my best friend and I am an inch taller than her...however she is 18% body fat and I am probably 40 still. So she looks crazy skinny...I am skinny, but not super model skinny.

      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.

        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!
