After surgery folks lose varying amounts of weight and some even gain weight. The 8 pounds does not indicate anything bad, your body is adjusting. It will slow down, stop, resume, gain, and lose again on the course of your new journey.

welcome, welcome & hello there :)

always great seeing a new smiling face :D

you'll enjoy this group - very informative with lots of support :)

"most" of us don't bite :lol:

always one in the crowd :o ;)

don't look a gift horse in the mouth - 8 lbs is great :)

everyone loses different amounts of weight right after surgery

some people even gain weight due to the IV's :angry:

the one thing we all have in common is that we're all different

continue to ask your questions

read the board

keep up the good work :)

Welcome! Losing 8 pounds is a wonderful start! You will fluctuate from time to time or just totally stall. If you haven't done measurements do them now! When you aren't losing on the scale you are losing in inches. This is still weight loss and the scale will reflect it eventually. Congratulations on your surgery! :)

      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!
