Is my FEAR founded?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 12/10/13. I lost 43 pounds pre-op. I have been "eating" Protein Drinks, Greek yogurt, Soups and puddings. I have only lost about 10 pounds post-op. (I did gain 11pounds in the hospital). Here is my fear...I am hardly eating. When I am able to eat more, how am I possibly going to continue to lose weight when i am barely eating now and the weigh loss has been slow? Does this make sense to anyone else?

Eating more will probably increase your weight loss.

I was sleeved 11/18 and felt the same way. I went from 205 to 180 , creeping. scale has not moved in ? 2 weeks. But I went down 2 sizes in my pants, and feel fantastic!!!! So I am doing my thing, and not focusing on the scale. Best wishes and Happy New Year!!!

Yes it makes sense, I was sleeved 12/11/13. The scale has not moved in a week. I am just trying to keep up my Protein and fluids. Going to start exercising soon. This forum has truly been a blessing to me so keep doing what you doing and posting for support.

First of all. Protein is the backbone of weight loss esp. with this program...If you are not getting enough nourishment your body will shut you down and in a hurry...It is protecting you from starvation and that is a normal reaction...Nothing strange here..

The less you eat your metabolism slows down as well and fat is restored in the tissues for safe keeping.....

Once you start taking in Protein and Water and Vitamins..Your body will relax and you will start to lose again...

Right now look at it like this..Your body is taking a much needed rest from everything it has endured through this journey so far..Stay on target, and keep going...and soon your body will say..I am still being fed..I am okay and I can release weight..

Don't you think the body is an amazing machine to be able to care for you like this!!! I do! :)

      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!
