How to stop loosing?



Recommended Posts

So I went to my surgeon for my 9 month follow up and he told me do not loose anymore weight at all no ifs an or buts!!! I was at my goal weight of 120! Now a bit over 2 weeks and I'm steady dropping, like a pound a day!! I've increase my food like he suggested and even added 2-3 servings of fruit a day and it is just steady dropping! I'm down almost 10lbs in 2 weeks!! And I don't know what to do! Any body been through this once they reached goal and if so how do you make it stop???

I will look into that! The two times I had it checked it was normal but you never know! One thing I just thought about is my neurologist just changed one of my Migraine meds to topamax and one common side effect is weight loss... I really hope that's not the cause! I'm finally migraine free after 6 years!!

Add Protein Drinks or healthy higher calorie beverages. Also higher calorie Protein. That was the recommendation given to me and it worked. fruit isn't adding any significant calories to level you off.

It is the topamax!! I was on it for Migraines the the bariatric dr increased it to help with weight loss. When I cut my dose back, the weightloss slowed down. You can always eat more carbs, but you may want to see if your topamax is too high. I was taking 50mg once a day to control migraines. When it went up to twice a day, the weight started falling off. Start there with your dosage.

      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.

        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!
