Becoming discouraged...Need Help



Recommended Posts

My surgery date was March 19th. I have lost 14 lbs since day of surgery and have not had any weight loss for the past 2.5 weeks. I measured the night before surgery and I have lost a total of 18 inches as of today. I am getting all of my protien, between 60-70 ounces of Water. I know that everyone looses at a different rate, but any suggestions would help.

I was in a similar place last week. My surgery was on the 19th as well and I had only lost about 13lbs. I didn't lose anything for about a week and a half and then it just started moving again. My change was I was finally able to move to puréed food and get a few more calories in.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
