Has anyone else run into this? I am right at 3 months and have lost 40 pounds. That puts me 30 pounds from goal. I have had steady two pound a week loss after the first month or so and all in all that is really great stuff. Everything I could have hoped for! So why am I freaking out a little. I mean I have lost 30 pounds in a year, but these few short months makes it feel a little surreal. I worry about excess skin, but not really, if that makes sense. I haven't hit the hair loss stage in force but I am dreading that.

My subconscious just started screaming in the background. This is so fast, maybe you should slow down, you have lost so much so fast. My husband even noticed I was eating bigger servings. I realized my subconscious chatter was causing me to eat more. I expressed to him what was going on in my head and he said he could tell something was up. I currently weigh just under where I have spent the majority of my adult life. I think the prospect of actually surpassing it is a little scary to my psyche.

I worked through that for about a week, I didn't lose that week, but I have since gotten back to my normal portions and am losing again. I think I am addressing the subconscious triggers that have surely helped with my strugglers all along the way. I was just wondering if anyone else had run into something like this along the way.

We all have evil brains. MY evil brain is called "Skippy" I do not let him decide ANYTHING about eating. He is twisted and sick.

Go see a psychologist who specializes in eating issues.. She can give you tools to handle emotional eating.

thanks for the advice. I have done a lot of reading and that is the reason I even recognized the subconscious chatter. Recognizing it is definitely the first step. :)

      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.

        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!
