afraid not going to lose enough



Recommended Posts

I was 258 day of surgery Oct 22, today 7 months later I'm 177. I just feel I have this mental block that I'm not going to lose enough. I'm working out and staying around 600-1200 calories. Just weight loss has slowed lately. Am I paranoid or is it normal to feel this way? Thanks

I try to work out daily even if it's just a few small things.

That is still great success....maybe you need to increase your exercise or change it up. Sounds like you hit a plateau.

Thank you! I'm trying to do more. Get out walking more. Did first 5k last week and pushed double stroller. That was something big I did for me. Just panic sometimes and obsess over everything at moments. Do you weigh week of your period of and weigh ins?

jessiam... how tall are you? What is your goal weight? The closer you get to goal the harder it is to get there. You know those people you have hated your whole life that say... I just need to lose this last 5 pounds!!!! We are now those people.. lol!!

That's right! That's my mom right there. I need to lose 5lbs and she does. Now I'm the 2nd smallest in the family besides my youngest sister. She's 103 lbs

As I got further in my journey the weight loss has slowed. In fact I stopped getting on the scale everyday because it never really changed. I weighed myself this week and I had actually dropped a few more pounds. I am also still losing inches because my pant size is still getting smaller.

My doctor told me right away that once my weight gets under 190-200 pounds, the weight will come off slower. That I will just need to make sure to keep doing exactly what I've been told to do and it will come off just not as fast as it did before.

      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!
