I am almost 7 weeks post op. I have lost about 24 pounds. I see inches more (I went from a 2x/3x scrub top to XL and a 2x scrub pant to L). I feel like I am not doing as well as I should. Can anyone give me advice? It all happened relatively quickly so I think in a few ways I wasn't completely prepared. Thoughts? Opinions? Advice?

Sounds like you are doing well. Why don't you think so?

A loss is a loss, any way you look at it, and if you're losing inches, that's definitely awesome! Everyone loses weight differently, and at their own pace. Best of luck!!

I think 24 lbs in 7 weeks is great! Congrats also on all those inches lost.

hey inches is great that means you might be building on lean muscle and if you have more muscle you will burn more fat. I always find it funny at times when people want to have like a 60 lbs drop in a month.....yea come on it is not going to happen unless you were at around 400 to begin with and I also state would you have lost 24 lbs in 7 weeks before. There is no way I could of. If it's inches lost or lbs...it's a loss not a gain right? You are doing great and I'm sure will be happy and enjoy your new journey soon!

      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!
