Ups & Downs...



Recommended Posts

Lots of ups & downs these past couple of weeks -- literally & figuratively! Down a few pounds, then they're right back on. Going for another fill mid-November when my Dr is back from maternity leave. Meeting with my nutritionist next week to see where I'm making mistakes. The thing is that I don't feel much restriction right now but I'm not feeling like starvation central either. I haven't been eating anything "bad" & I've been exercising. Being stuck at the same weight for the last three weeks is making me feel a little down. True, I haven't gained, but I haven't lost additional weight either. Is this normal? Any tips on how to jump start the weight loss again? Any stories/tips/advise my veteran banders would like to share? Many thanks in advance! -- Ro

if you are losing (inches), you are losing weight regardless of what the scale say or not

if your clothes are looser

if you are feeling healthier...doing more...then its working

hang in there..all the best

Carolina girl is absolutely correct. I was stuck at the same weight for almost a month. I was so busy paying attention to the scale that I failed to notice my work overalls were getting bigger on me. I lost no pounds in that month but I did drop 3 pants sizes! ????????... a loss is a loss whether it's inches or pounds!

      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!
