I'm down from 236 to 174. That puts me down 62. I'm very happy!!! I'm also concerned I haven't lost in a month possibly 2 months. I think I have made to many allowances. I'm nervous I stretched my stomach, is that possible ? I started to lose hair, no bald spots but my brush has a lot of hair feel like I'm shedding. I've been focusing on my Vitamins and feel the hair situation is getting better but not thick.

I don't think you've done anything to your stomach- you're saying you've been making too many "allowances". I would have to say that's your issue, probably. But get back on the wagon- you can do this! As for me, I am down 93 lbs since surgery and down 123 total. Been stalled for a couple weeks now. I have a hard time getting motivated to exercise and I also have been getting a little too "comfortable". Not really overeating, but not watching everything like I should. Back on the program this week and fasting 2 days (yesterday) and tomorrow. I just started a new job, so everything has been a bit of a challenge...how's everyone else?

What does fasting for two days do? What does that mean ? Not eating? I feel the same as you not over eating so much but not watching what I eat. I've heard that some people do a liquid diet for a week. What works for u?

I am down from 296 to 184 today! That is down 112 pounds!!I am very happy but I am starting to realize that if I get too comfortable then I don't loose as much! This past month I only lost 5 pounds! I am a teacher so starting school and work again is always stressful! I am thinking positively thought because I feel like what this past month was like is kid of what maintenance will look like and I didn't gain so that is good! Keep up all the hard work and as for the hair shedding I am having the same problem! I got a Biotin supplement and have been taking those! I have found that three a day is about what I need to slow the hair loss!!! I have super thick hair so I am ok for now but I worry that if I keep losing hair that will change! Paranoid about my hair!!!

I'm down 66 pounds post-op and 94 pounds in all, but I'm still considered obese! So, I have some work to do...to the tune of 60-80 more pounds to lose! My weight will then be normal to overweight... Anyway, I'm quite happy with my progress.????

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
