So I'm a little over 6 weeks out and just can't seem to break through to the next set of digits! A couple of weeks ago I was in a roll and then "that time" came and I stalled that entire week. This week I've lost back down to before plus a couple extra pounds but am really feeling discouraged...I really expected the scales to move quicker especially since I'm diligent in Protein, Water, and exercise!

Just wondering what average others have experienced?

Comparing your weight loss to mine (or anyone else's) is always a mistake and a sure recipe for frustration. We are all individuals and all unique. There are just too many variables to judge your success against someone else's. Just keep following the protocol, stay active, and stay away from the scales for at least a week and two would be even better. You're gonna love the new you!!

Remember you may not be losing lbs, but I bet you are losing Inches. Stay strong and the lbs will come off. I have been stalled weight wise for about a month, but today I had to notch my belt tighter. So I may not be losing weight,but know the inches are coming off.

Agreed. My body does not seem to lose weight and inches at the same time. On days I wake up feeling thin, the scale generally hasnt budged

      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.

      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!
