difficult getting to goal weight



Recommended Posts

:unsure: I've lost 101 lbs. and I feel great and feel thinner somehow this week I have started to eat things I normally wouldn't I had some cake and I really liked it and today I had some more, I don't eat the whole slice I just have a taste but I can't help but feel bad afterwards I don't want to continue this way. It might be the stress in my life but that is not a good excuse I want to get to my goal, I just need a little encouragement thank you

Congratulations on your 101 pound loss! That is incredible. You are so close to your goal-24 pounds away-are you exercising daily? I always find that kills my appetite if I walk daily (long walks) and it also lifts the mood which might give you the fuel you need right now to reach your goal. I wish you all the best-you will get there soon! :)

No cake allowed in our house! Plus, I think if you take one bite it will lead to more when you know you won't get sick from it. I make sure I eat yogurt or a snack before I go shopping, because hunger in the store is not good. Keep that SF pudding on hand, or find a popsicle. You seriously have done an awesome job, so keep it up!

I agree, I have started taking a few fries from my kids. Now I am not a drive thru eater, so I don't think I will go out of my way to go get fries, but I will get some from my kids and that is the start of something bad. With every diet/plan, we humans, because we are exceptionally smart, can find loop holes in cheating the plan. We now know that if we chew up food to the consistency of mush we can stomach anything. So, here goes fries, fried stuff, and for some, even bread. We begin to sample sweets and if it doesn't make us feel bad, then we will begin to add different kinds, take bigger bites or eat a whole slice. We know that we can space out our meals and Snacks to eat more (graze). PLUS, when we reach a great achievement like you have (CONGRATS) our minds begin to play tricks on us, telling us that we have made it and you can now go back to doing what you did pre surgery.

I think it is good that you are freer to sample, just don't let it be the boss of you!

      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!
