So...its going on 6 wks post op and i have totally stalled!! what am i to do?? I'm becoming super discouraged now. Even when i went

for my follow up visit to the dr he made no mention of a stall being normal and expected/expects me to lose more weight. i read that

perhaps adding calories and/or changing up meals may help. i'm inclined to believe that as last week i indulged in 3 glasses of wine and

meat from a cheese steak and woke up 3lbs lighter!! (Finally, i saw movement!!!) I would like to know if i could get healthy meal ideas to switch up and add to confuse my body's metabolism to jump start my loss again. Just to add, i have been spinning, doing some strength trng and of drink plenty of Water all day long. i'm doing about 700-900 calories a day. my nut put me up to 800-1000 when i went to my follow up visit.

6 weeks post op? How'd that cheese steak meat go down, lol? At 6 weeks I couldn't tolerate anything like that. Good for you.

Of course stalls are normal. Weight loss, especially as you get further out, is a journey of fits and spurts. Changing up the diet and the exercise routine is the best you can do and I promise as long as you are sticking to your calorie goals the scale will move again. I cut out all the unnecessary Snacks and crap that slowly crept back up into my diet and am eating very high carb (85-100g a day). I have also been busting my butt at the gym every day. Finally the scale budged after 2 weeks from 191 to 189 this morning.

Good luck!

idk, it wasnt a problem at all though. i will try to do different exercises and/or just do more. Every time my mom sees me she says how thin i'm getting. of course i'm far from thin but shes noticing changes, others also. Thanks 4 ur input!! :D

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
