Scared and overthinking it?



Recommended Posts

I'm looking at everyone's before and after pics and how great everyone looks. I'm scared I'm never gonna get there. Is it possible that you won't lose weight after surgery? I'm 12 days post op and in a stall... At least I hope it's a stall. :(

I'm 9 days post-op and all I have lost is Water weight (4 lbs)...I'm walking and drinking clear fluids (getting 60-80g protein/day) and wondering when the weight will drop as well.

I'm due for surgery June 30 but I was speaking with my facilitator this week and she said I will experience a stall. she said just keep doing what I'm supposed to do and it will come off. Keep up the good work!!!

Normal stall happens at about that time... don't stress.

Besides, it is too late, your surgery is done. Now is the time to make the most of it and get on board to make this journey an amazing success. You can do it!!!

I have lost over 160# and am completely transformed.

I keep thinking that every pound I lose is going to be my last and that I am going to be the ONE person who fails at this. I have lost 20 pounds in 5 weeks and I have to keep reminding myself that it'll happen. Just gotta take things one day at a time.

You are going to be fine!! My "stall" lasted about 2weeks! Although frustrating, it is normal. & you are probably losing inches. Take your measurements!

      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!
