It's normal. I still don't feel like I've dropped as much as I have some days.

I weighed in at the Dr.s office at 227, my weight is now 208 and I am pre op and I don't see it on my body but I see it on the scale! 13 lbs is a bowling ball! It's a lot but spread out all over from head to toe it's not going to show much, keep on going and you will soon see the results.

Keep in mind we are here because we have a lot of weight to lose. You probably won't notice a 13 pound loss. But it does work, be patient. Next thing you will know, you will have lost 50 pounds and you will look in the mirror and see the differences. 13 pounds is excellent in a week and a half. Keep up the great work, but don't get too frustrated when the scale stalls. It will happen, but that doesn't mean the surgery didn't work. You will start losing again after your body adjusts.

      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!
