Hello all,

I am currently down 26 pounds and 4.5 weeks post op. I've been at a stall for about 2 weeks now and was wondering if anyone has ideas on how to get back in the "losing circle" (:

Yes....don't worry about it. Everyone gets the stall. I've had two since my surgery both lasting two weeks which means all together I had a month of not losing. I recommend you stay the course and let your body adjust to the large weight loss you have had already. Your body is just working its self out. Drink your fluids and get that Protein in and when you least expect it you will see some movement in the scale. If you are cleared for working out just walk a lil extra. I freaked out my first stall and now I just don't care cause I know it will move again and with as much as I work out there is no way I'm not going to see improvements! Good luck! You'll do great!

That might be part of my problem... definitely not getting all of my Protein in. I find shakes hard to keep down! Will work on doing that! Thank you for the kind words and Goodluck on your journey! (:

lol I haven't had a shake since my surgery. I hate how they taste. Try eggs and vegan burgers cause they are soft and full or Protein or make your own Protein Shakes if the store ones are gross. I did for awhile with soy chocolate milk a banana and unflavored Protein Shake mix. It was good but I honestly just got tired of them. I'm rooting for you!

      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!
