My biggest fear



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on the 16th but I am scared that I won't lose any weight!! I know this is not common but this is my fear!

I know where you're coming from. I too had thoughts of, "what if I'm the one person this doesn't work for?" Trust me, this is completely different from any diet you've ever tried. Now you have a tool that will force you cut back on the calories, and if you stay with the planned food stages, your taste buds and carb craving will be reset.

This is your chance for a do-over. You can do it. We were all right where you are, right before and right after surgery. In a month, you won't believe how you life will begin to change for the better.

VGB... don't worry. You will lose, as everyone does. Your stomach is smaller (or will be if you haven't had surgery yet). You will eat so much less that you can't help but lose weight. Just remember.... exercise is an important part of the equation and if you want to lose the most you can you have to get your rear in gear and work if off. Good luck and enjoy the process.

I thought the exact same thing. Especially because in the first week or two I was on liquids and couldn't feel the restriction yet.

Honestly, I still think it from time to time but it keeps me motivated to keep working.

I feel the same way. Had my surgery on the 9th and i feel like if I start adding more liquid etc to my diet I'm gonna gain and it freaks me out. I am losing though so it's all good

      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!
