Almost 18 months out and struggling a little....



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

So I have a question I started at 277 and am now at 220 and it will be 18 months in June. I have stalled myself and have decided that I need to reset so to speak. I want to know is it still possible to lose wright 18 months out especially when you feel like you haven't hit your goal. Mine is 185. I welcome any and all advice. I don't think it is too late and I am totally open to listening to all advice.

Thanks

Danielle

I'm also stalled but don't feel I'm done yet. Have you tried the 5 day pouch test? Or diet. I'm going to try that. I've heard it works to sort of reset yourself.

I think that by this time, old habits start to creep in without us realizing it. Let me know if this works!!

It's never too late. Go back to the basics. More Water, chew thoroughly, more exercise and of course, look at what you're eating. My down fall has always been grazing. If you graze, try to do it with better option foods. I never did hit my goal. I'm still better off. The thing is, this is not a cure and the reality is it will ALWAYS be a work in progress for us. 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.

      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!
