Nervous about 6 week appt



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is my 6 week check up and I'm SO nervous about it! I am down 27 pounds after hitting a stall and I'm afraid th doc will think it's not enough. I've been increasing my Protein and finally started losing again but I feel like I should have lost more by now.

Are these normal feel

27 lbs in 6 weeks is great! and you should get cleared for exercise at your appt. tomorrow so then the weight will really start to fall off. i have 66 lbs in 4 months post surgery. always be happy about what you lose and happy about the exercise you do. you are the only one whose happiness you have to worry about.

You are doing great. Almost 5 lbs a week! More than 10% of your body weight lost already.

Unless your doctor gave you reason to believe you needed to hit a specific number by week 6, relax. Be proud of what you have done so far and enjoy!

Good luck at your appointment!

27lbs including pre op or just after surgery? I think 27lbs is great! I'm only down 10 since surgery and I'm 4 weeks out.

      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!
