I feel your pain. I'm one month today and my scale has been STUCK for the last 2 weeks. I haven't been cleared for vigorous workouts because I had beginning complications... So all I can do is walk...... This sucks!!! .....

But we gotta stay positive!! Soon! This will have just been a bump in our road to thinner days!!

Keep your chin up. I only lost 8 pounds in the first two weeks after surgery. Are you taking in enough fluids? Believe it or not your body will retain Water if you are dehydrated. That can keep the scale from moving.

Hopeful what's your beginning weight? The more you weigh the faster it comes off. Maybe

I eat. I drink all day long (sips). I walk. My beginning weight was before surgery was 248. I am 5'1. I am now at 221. But at a stall since surgery (5/23/12). Its just so frustrating. Not even 1lb gone.

Don't get frustrated it will happen stress doesn't help and you shouldn't be watching those scales like a volcher. Drink your fluids, if you don't drink enough your body will hold on to it so drink drink drink. Walk as much as you can but don't hurt yourself. The weight will fall off, you got to remember when we were in hospital they pumped us full of liquids so when we got home we were dropping Water weight first. I know it's hard to be patient but just have Alittle faith if your doing what doctor said you'll loose the weight.

      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!
