Okay, you feel you are having a slow weight loss, but how do you feel? How do your clothes fit? Are you healthier? There are so many more aspects to what we are doing than a number on the scale. The last time I saw my nutritionist, she told me to get off the scale and quit weighing every single day!! She said since I was upset over comparing myself to others, and in a bad mood when there was no loss, that I was not feeling the happiness and full benefit of the success I was overlooking...All because I obsessed over a number on a scale! She wants me to not weigh until my next appointment. In a month!! She said if I can't make it, only weigh once a week. Tomorrow will make 3 weeks since I have weighed. I feel TERRIFIC!! I AM HAPPIER! Please stay positive and stick to the plan. It's not a race. It's a lifetime commitment. i think 30 pounds is super!! : )

It's been six months for me and I've lost thirty pounds as well. At first I was freaked out but then I had to realize that I couldn't lose ONE stinking pound for so long and now look at me. I agree, get off of the scale. Think about how much better you feel. It will happen. Our bodies are all different and what happens fast for some just take longer for others. Hang in there your doing great! :-)

      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.
