Finding myself becoming more and more depressed I haven't lost any weight since my doctors appointment on the 14th. I am trying to do my best with the diet. I know I'm nt taking in the proper Water but I'm getting better. So far the only thing that makes me sick is whey protien shakes. Go figure the one thing I need my pouch don't like, and. I broke down and ate a oatmeal raisin cookie and nothing happen. I don't know I just feel like I'm not going to succeed with anything. In guess I just need a pick me up or something to keep me on track. I live in the middle of no where and have really nothing to do :( woe is me:(

Are you walking? I've heard that just because you're not losing lbs doesn't mean your not losing inches. Sometimes the weight redistributes itzelf for optimal weight loss. Hang in there and dont give up! Its only been a little over 2 weeks...my surgery is tomorrow morning at 7 a.m....we can do this together :)....

Thank you...i cant sleep because of the anxiety. We'll motivate each other. I'll contact u tomorrow if the hospital has wifi

The bariatric center that I'm going through has you c a physical therapist that shows you all of thee neat exercises that can be done immediately after surgery. I've been doing them for the past two weeks and i dont know if I've lost any weight but people have noticed that I look more tone. The say my mid section isnt as large :)...I dont own a scale because it will make me obsess a out it. Ive heard others say use a tape measure instead...r u taking pics once a week and looking at them?

Forgot to mention there are some weeks I don't loose anything and some weeks where I loose a lot making sure you get in all fluids is a big deal though so even if you have to eat a whole box of sugar free Popsicles so be it just make sure your getting your Fluid intake because not getting enough fluid will make your body retain Water and make you have water weight on!

      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!
