I gained 30lbs with my pregnancy :( my band wasn't properly adjusted and was eating sliders only. I have since be adjusted properly and I'm only down 7lbs!! I work out daily and eat below 1500 calories. Frustrating!! So easy to get fat..hard to get it off! How do you break down your total goal to keep you focused?

30 lbs during pregnancy is nothing. You can drop that weight. Congrats on the new baby....

It is very hard to stay focused, I am in the same boat. I am thinking of removing all sugar\starches from my diet for 2 weeks and focusing on whole foods. I understand that processed foods and eating out at all can really derail your weight loss. Also, sugar is addicting, the more you eat, the more you want to eat. So I started today, no sugar for 2 weeks and I will focus on whole foods like Protein, healthy fat, and veggies staying away from processed dairy.

It really does come down to what we put in our mouth...

Good luck with your journey!

      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!
