If you're concerned about continuiung to lose, I'd meet with a nutritionist. (my program had one available) There's probably a certain number of calories you'll need to maintain to maintain your weight!

Great job!

Thanks everyone... I didnt do anything different than what we All have to do.. However I can say I didn't stop watching the scale until I hit goal... Now that I can eat anything.. I find that I'm not too fond of chicken I usually give up on it after a bite or 2... I love all green veggies especially asparagus and spinach.... And my stomach looooves seafood, not much a surprise since I was a seafood lover before surgery but I can actually eat a good portion of it before full.. I usually get a seafood sampler,, yummy

      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.

        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!
