Your body has to adjust to the weight loss. You are going to have some weeks or even a few weeks in a row where you won't lose anything. Like fr me this month I lost 1lb but lost a pants size and shirt size.

Your body has to adjust and relearn what you are doing.

I'm starting week 4 today. The same thing happened to me except I gained weight in week two. 9 lbs! After losing 17 the first week. Don't worry. The scale will move again. Stalls are normal. And the dreaded 3 week stall is famous around here....look it up. I had the same fears and it all came off and I'm still going down. Just follow your plan and you'll be fine!

This is totally normal at this point. The weight will come off. Your job is to eat Proteins and get all your fluids in. Make sure your hydrated because dehydration really sucks..... Sit back and watch the weight come off now. Work on new eating habits and exercise. This is such an awesome ride.... :P

I know how you feel.....there are a lot of people typing and thinking what you posted. I had surgery on 9-10, and I haven't lost anything in a week. I think this surgery makes you crazy and obsessive about what your body is doing, and what you are doing to your body. I am hoping it gets better, from what I have read on here it will.

Well, I ended up being a little dehydrated too. I had to get 2 liters of Fluid today as well. Of course, they couldn't stick me so I got stuck 5 times before they finally got an I.V. in. It's been a long day. :unsure:

Ugh, getting fluids at the hospital is never fun, but ain't it amazing how much better you feel?

And 17 lbs. in two weeks? I'd kill for that! Or lop off part of my thigh, anyway. ;) You go girl!

      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.
