5 weeks out and getting upset



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. So I'm 5 weeks post op and I had lost 38 lbs and now I haven't lost anything the past week. I try to stay in the diet and I'm barely able to eat much bc I get the sudden pains. I have started walking for 45 min bit haven't lost. How long does this last. I'm getting upset over it :(

Don't get discouraged the stalls happen to all of us. I am about 10 weeks out and I had one that started like two weeks ago. I didn't lose a single pound for two weeks and I was starting to get very upset, then this morning I stepped on the scale and had lost three more pounds!! Just keep up the great work you are already doing and it will start back up, you just have to work through it!!

10 pounds in four weeks (it was 14 pounds, but I gained after week 2 and have been stuck ever since).... So if this is a competition for who is the slowest... I win :lol:

This is just about the time that your body will go from loosing Water to converting more water out of your fat cells, etc. This is a transition. Your body will get back on track for loosing. Keep up the good work, and keep up the exercise.

You have lost an average of 7.6 pounds per week. Not sure I understand why you are upset?

Don't stress!! I didn't lose anything for almost 3 weeks at one point. I'm 15 weeks out now and am down 75lbs :) Sometimes for me indulging in something a little higher in calories has helped jumpstart me during a stall. Sounds like it would be the opposite, but I swear it has worked for myself and others I know!

Either way, it's definitely not a competition and everyone's bodies behave differently. I got out of my last stall by starting Insanity...talk about...INSANE!!! LOL

Good luck, keep up the good work!

      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!
