Wow, I continue to be blown away by your experience. Now if only we could control this in a tangible and practical way. I think it was ms skinnyness that posted some good articles not too long ago about little tips for encouraging your body to dump Water faster, but man, 20 lbs over a weekend! I am floored!

I was worried too, but I held onto hope and finally, BAM!!!! All I want you to take away from this is to be patient and stay the course, your body WILL catch up.[/quote']

Absolutely. I know I worked harder to increase my Water intake to about 80 ounces a day, which took diligence because I am forgetful. But I did it. Kept on top of it religiously. I get approximately 70-75 grams of Protein a day. Only about 20 of that is animal Protein, the remainder of my protein comes from quinoa, plain greek yougurt mixed with Protein powder, and chai seeds added to my Water (brilliant idea by the way), and one of my favorite treats, a homemade avacado hummus ^_^ it provides great protien from the chickpeas and avacado has wonderful beneficial fats, Vitamins, Fiber, and flavor! Its just chickpeas, lime, avacado, and fresh garlic cloves. It goes great on anything, 2 tbsp a serving. Talking about it is making me hungry lol.

Anyhow, I had been working up my resistence train gradually from week 3 post op through week 5 post op. The 6th week I was up to 2 hours of resistance training a day broken up into 1 hour twice a day blocks. The 6th week I also began a training schedule to build up my running that I found online. For the first week you run/jog for 60 seconds, then walk for 90 seconds. You repeat this 8 times in a row, 3-5 times a week.

When I say Ive been dedicated, I mean it. That's why the stall was really getting to me, but I kept on anyway because everyone on here says stalls happen and pass, so I held on on the my thin shreds of patience.

      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!
