I have reached my 6 month Surgiversary and I have been stalled for a little over a month. My scale refuses to go past 228! Grrr! Luckily, I have been seeing the results in the pictures that I have been taking that are encouraging me not to give up.

The one in the orange dress is from July 2012 and I was at my highest weight of 290. The black dress is from last week, at 228. I had my surgery in October of 2012.

Actually it's from Cato! I got it last year on sale for like $10! I love it, but I might have to have it taken in to wear it now, which makes me happy!

Wow..our stats are pretty close...I started out at 287 and am stuck at 228 as well. I'm starting Atkins this week as think my carb intake is too high. I'm also trying to up my Fluid intake as a trip to the ER this week with kidney stones was not fun and was extremely painful!!

Hi Jessica!

Great job with your weight loss! I think carbs might have a little to do with my stall. I also think that my working out has something to do with it, oddly enough. We have a new gym in town that does some pretty intense workouts and I go Mon, Weds, and Fri. I can't help but wonder if this sudden change in workout might be causing a little bit of the stall, as well as maybe building muscle. I am going to try the Keto diet to limit my carbs and hope that that, combined with my inability to eat a lot and working out break my stall! Good luck to you on breaking yours!

That sounds like a great idea. Let's make plans to update each other with how successful (or not) our methods are. Hopefully we have hit upon something and will both be back with great news!

      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!

        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!
