Advice ? Yes, give yourself a big hug and a pat on the back !!! You have lost 25 lbs in 5 months, or an average of 1.4 lbs a WEEK ! !! That is very healthy "normal" progress, as 1-2 lbs a week is usually whats recommended. CONGRATULATIONS ! Keep up the good work !

If you can find the time to fill out your profile on a PC? It's difficult to advise when we know so little about you?

25 lbs is not slow and not fast either. Much depends on your BMI when you had surgery? I only lost 12 lbs the first 4 months.

Have you had any fills and are you feeling satiety or lots of hunger?

Sounds like you are firmly on the path headed to your goal. "Just" 25# is a monumental achievement, and 1.4#/week is very impressive!

Congratulations and keep up the great pace!!!!.

I have to say awesome job on your weight loss. Everyone losses weight differently and I do not see any loss unless I workout. Also just to let you know I also still see the fat girl in the mirror. I believe that is a mental issue more than a weight one. So keep you the great work!

      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.
