Recommended Posts

Ok I had my surgery May 2014 I've lost 100#'s but haven't lost nothing in 2 months! I'm still eating right no soda, no bread, no fried foods, only egg whites, grilled chicken and grilled chicken salad any suggestions I'm thinking of doing all liquids for a couple days a week or a week with all liquids any other suggestions

Are you eating enough? It sounds like you might actually be eating too little. What about exercise?

I hear you on the stall. I am down 107 pounds and just cannot get any lower. I've been up and down 2-3 pounds for the last 6 weeks. SO frustrating!

How much more do you need to lose?

Hello. I had my 6mth apt yesterday. I complained to my doc about a 6 week stall I had right after xmas. She explained that its just my body adjusting to a new norm with my metabolism. I eat approximately 800-950 calories a day. I eat pretty much the same variety of food and I exercise just about the same way or burn the same calories all the time. My body is saying...oh I can live with this, lets stay here. Eating a few more calories, trying to eat a different variety of food and doing a different type of exercise for a a few days and then go back to my norm might be enough to get the ball rolling again. Or my body could just be holding on because its afraid I am never going to stop eating such low calories so its storing every pound it can. She said that with some people nothing can be done to break it they just have to wait it out. A stall can last from a week to 2 or 3 mths depending on your metabolism, your normal calories in and out and how close you are weight wise to your set weight. Hang in there! Good luck!

I hear you guys too, @iamblessed1225 and @AvaFern - ! I was sleeved April 29 2014 and have lost 110 pounds and cannot get below this current weight of 177. I fluctuate a pound or 1.5 either side of that, but have been stuck there for around 8 weeks. Driving me nuts and making it hard to keep to my plan when I see no weight-loss results. Yes, I take measurements and Celebrate other goals like those on a run or the gym, but I really want to get to goal, and that's still 32 lbs away. Sigh. I eat around 750-800 calories a day, and no starchy carbs at all.

A couple days on liquids might shock the system into letting go again, but then be sure you go up again and keep getting enough Protein and calories meanwhile. Until then, know that you're not alone, and you're in good company here!

Let us know how it goes, okay? Good luck!

      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.

        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!
