Why have i stopped lossing?



Recommended Posts

I don't know what to do to be able to start losing again. I was only eating 300 cal after my surgery and lost 30 lbs in the first month, they finally get me to where I can keep something down and I stop losing?!?!? How is it that eating 900 cal a day causes me to maintain weight and not lose! 300 cal is not enough to sustain life or proper brain function, but any more and I can't lose anything? Anybody have any ideas? I am lost...oh and I can only drink milk for fluids, Water hurts and makes me upchuck so that is how I am getting my cal everyday. I am still only eating two 1/4 cp meals a day.

How are you getting your Protein? Are you getting the required amount? My doctor still has me on about 400 cal a day and surgery was Feb 26. But I get about 90 gr of protein a day and I drink over 100 oz of water. If you are only drinking milk then you are getting too many calories and not enough protein.

My doc wants me on 1000cal a day and 60 gr Protein. I am getting my protein in and not quite enough cal, bit def more than I had been. I am close to my targets daily, only going over on protein, never on cals.

Same thing happened to me. I lost 30 pounds then when I started eating I stalled. For three weeks!!!! Now I'm loosing again slowly. I was told this is not a race but a journey. Hang in there. It will happen.

      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!
