Ok that's not enough information. What is "normal" to you? What are you eating? Are you tracking your food? How far post op are you? @

I'm only 5 days out and still on the liquid diet, so not tracking right now, but when I advance to soft foods I'll begin tracking at that point. For me it'll be a must,to keep me from slipping or forgetting,and to keep me on track and on schedule.

I am assuming your "normal" food is processed or fast food?

I can tell you why I gained 4lbs since this morning. I had lunch with my parents.

Seriously! They eat high salt, high carb foods. I woke up weighing 211 this morning. Got back at 5pm and was up to 215lbs. It was all the salt and carbs I consumed. When I get back on my normal diet of lean Protein and vegetables - starting tomorrow morning - I will lose those excess Water pounds in a couple of days.

Processed foods and high carb foods trigger my body to hold onto Water and store calories as fat. I have to stick with Protein and vegetables to maintain or lose weight. Even eating too much fruit will cause me to gain weight.

@ Oh good well now you know why you gained weight. You need to get back on track and do what you were doing before. I noticed after losing 100lbs strictly from diet (I never exercised) this last 20-30 isn't going to be as easy. So you may also need to up the exercise. Don't feel defeated just switch it up a bit!

      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!
