I'm 4 weeks out and haven't lost for 10 days. I'm getting my Protein in and 700 cals a day and not losing. It's scaring me.

Thanks so much for everyone's comments on here! They are making me feel better.

Bump up your calories to 800-1000, see I that helps! I wasn't getting 800/day and that was my problem. Your body goes into starvation mode an starts taking from your muscle. So try that and see if it works! I lost another 4.5 pounds in a few days by doing that.

Hey guys! :)

Don't compare yourself to other 'loser's'. We will all lose at different paces. I am about 4 1/2 months out and stalled yet again. Oh, and I GAIN! I have a 3 pound gain right now. I only lose about 10 per month after the first month or so. Yes I am a turtle. Yes I am frustrated. Yes I am silently panicking inside but I know it will come off. Well, it least it better! :blink:

Just keep doing what you are doing. I know I need more exercise right now. I had work travel last week and it threw me way off but back on the horse. Hang in there!!!

You newbies need to realize that your body is hanging onto every fat cell. Your body is in shock. You just continue following your nutritionist's guidelines and eventually your body will give up and the weight will drop. Do not let the scale get the best of you. It will drive you nuts. :) your all doing awesome. Hang in there.

I did the exact same things at 2 weeks. I stalled for 5 weeks. I was so frustrated and ready to scream. I had only lost 16lbs. I have now lost 12lbs in the last 2weeks. So now I am down 28lbs from my surgery weight. Just be patient and keep doing what you are suppose too. Eventually You will start losing again. Good Luck.

How long should a stall be, I've been stuck in one for 7 days now at only one month out from surgery. I am getting all of my Protein in now thanks to Protein 100, still struggling with my liquids only getting 40 ozs a day

Stalls are all different and it all depends on your body. Not every stall you have will be the same. They can last to a few days to weeks. Be patient even though its hard, keep doing exactly what your nut and doctors say and when your body is ready, you will start to lose weight again.

I'm about 4 weeks out. I lost the first week like crazy... Then stalled after the second for about 2 weeks. It wasn't truley a stall because I still dropped 3 to 4 clothe sizes but my scale didn't move .

I was so frustrated going thru the surgery and I wasn't experiencing this awesome weight loss like the other folks I read about on here.

Now at almost 3.5 to 4 weeks the lbs just started melting away. Literally like 2 lbs a day. Now I'm getting nervous cause I didn't want to lose that quick. LOL

Friday I will be 8 weeks out and I've only lost 25 pounds and I am really trying to follow everything to the tee. And I want to hurt the stupid scale. I am never hungry or thirsty and force myself to eat and drink. Just so I wouldn't stall and what do I go and do.

I'm the same way. I've been doing everything that I've been told and only 32 in 8 weeks.... I have to force myself to drink and eat also. I feel I've lost inches but I wanna loose more 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!
