Hi everyone,

So I been plateauing for the last month and it just seem to be stuck, so I talked to one of the MDs I work with and she told me that perhaps I'm not getting enough calories, or I'm building muscle and retaining Water due to me exercising much lately. So my question will be any other suggestio?

Thanks

How far out are you? How many calories are you averaging on a daily basis? Are you getting ALL of your doctor's recommended Protein? Are you getting 64 oz of Water a day? The answers to those questions will often point to a direction to move in to help break the stall. The good news is that even if you do nothing, as long as you're following the protocol and staying active, the stall will pass. We all know how frustrating they are but they're all part of the process. If you can give us a little more info, I'm sure we can give some ideas of things that might help you get back on the downward track!!

      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!
