I have only loss 5lbs in the last 2 months, (49 since September 9). I've been following all of the rules. Getting my Protein in. Going to the gym 5 days a week. I really don't know what else to do. Do u have any suggestions to jump start my weight loss???

Stay off the scale, take your measurements instead. Also make sure you're getting in Protein and fluids. Stalls come and go, you just have to power through them.

I have stayed off the scale for a while because I was getting so frustrated. Got back yesterday and still nothing after 2 weeks. Ugg. Is anyone else having these problems or did have them? If so, what did u have to do to jump start your weight loss again?

Everyone has them. Stalls can last from a few weeks to months. Make sure you're getting in all your Protein, drink your Water and exercise. All you can do is follow your program until your body decides it's not starving. In the meantime look for NSV and take your measurements to compare the differences.

I totally understand. I am really frustrated. I have lost 23 lbs since Dec. 19 (surgery date) but I have stalled for the last two weeks in terms of total weight loss. I have however lost 39 lbs of fat so my BMI is down 11% in this same period. I am extremely frustrated to not see the "weight" come off the scale. I have spoken to my nutritionist and she says I am doing fine.... UGH....

I am there too. Great losses then stall. I am sooo close breaking the 200 pound mark and just feel like I m stuck. Will I look at it and never make it. ? Some days my confidence totally wanes. Other days I tell myself I have come so far I must Celebrate the success. I need a local group. Anyone out there from NH. ???

      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!
