Hang in there. Not everyone drops a ton of weight right away.

Remember, you just put your body through some significant trauma. Not only does it have to heal, but it also has to get used to your new plan.

If you were able to lose 11 pounds each week at Weight Watchers, you were doing great even before you started this journey. Now if you stick to your programs plan and approach it the same way you must have for WW, you should see some great success.

I know my first 2 months I questioned whether my surgeon had even done anything. The weight was coming off at 3-5 pounds a week, I didn't have issues getting in my fluids, never felt full and didn't seem to be progressing. Luckily I stuck with the plan, kept my focus and now at 6 months out I'm 15 pounds from my goal.

      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!
