I am about 6 weeks post op and although i have lost about 22 lbs, I have come to a complete stall. my scale hasnt budged in about a week! I am not eating anything bad, I watch my calorie intake I focus on Protein and hydrating, and i exercise almost every day. Is it normal to stall like this? could it be getting harder because I only have 30 lbs to goal weight? please help! im worried that i will not lose any more! Help!!!

What are you eating? You might need to increase your cardio? Change up the routine. Whenever I have a stall I go back to basics.4oz of food for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. 2 Protein shakes and Water through out the day.

Hope this helps.

I am eating one egg for Breakfast, tuna for lunch and a very small supper of mostly Protein. ( i still cannot eat more than a few ounces at a time) I eat a Protein Bar for a snack and drink plenty of Water and green tea. The scale finally came down a lb but with the amount of exercise I do I am just so shocked that im not losing more. i guess I will just have to wait and be patient. thanks for the support kika!

I too have hit a stall. Including 1 week pre-op diet, I lost 32lbs as of my 3rd week post-op. I'm now at 4.5 weeks and the scale hasn't moved in at least 6 days. I think most of my problem is that I tried 7 different Protein supplements and wasn't able to tolerate any of them. So, I didn't get any Protein other than from my food. I started taking Ensure High Protein yesterday which has 25g of protein per bottle. Drinking 2 gives me 50g daily. I hope this helps my stall. Anyone care to share info about your stalls?

      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!
