Hello everyone! I'm new! This is my first post! What a blessing this forum is! I've read so many inspiring and helpful posts from people who know exactly how I feel!

I'm post op 1 year. I've lost 100lbs! And I feel like a new person! I still have about 10-15 to go and my scales have not moved in about 6-8 weeks! I'm not doing anything I'm not supposed to. I have been working extra hard and it seems impossible. I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions as to what I may try in order to get to my goal.

I appreciate any responses and want to say congratulations and good luck to you all!!

:)

Wow! What a success story you are. Congratulations! Maybe you could do a week of the pre-op clear liquid diet that jump starts so many of us before surgery...

Rush2121, hang in there!!! You can do it!!! The first few weeks were pretty rough, but I kept the outcome as the center point of my struggles. I knew if I just did my best and what I was supposed to even in those hard frustrating times that it'd all be worth it!! Praying you just stay encouraged and know its all worth it! ;) good luck!!!

I have read on here if you mix your food intake up and increase the intensity of your workouts that it helps you break out of a stall. I am currently in a stall (almost 4 weeks now) and have increased my workouts. Unfortunately I can't seem to increase my food intake though. I am only 2 months post op. I can't seem to break through the stall. Going back to the liquid diet sounds like a great idea...Your story is amazing. Congrats on your weight loss journey thus far! And good luck with your last 10-15 lbs.

Thank you so much! Good luck to you as well! I stalled the first time about 3 weeks out and 2 1/2 months out and now. But I'm thankful for what's been accomplished thus far and for the decrease of health conditions and medications! Yours will start coming right off again...just wait and see! :)

      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?
