I am 3 1/2 months out from surgery and have lost 37 pounds including pre-op diet. I am definately a slow loser but my hair is great and even at 62 years, my skin is keeping up...sort of. I feel great and at 168, my clothing size is just about changing every 2 weeks. I have relaxed into the journey and no longer have that sense of impatience. I realized that unlike any other "diet" I have ever been on, this is a lifestyle change and I will never be able toeat the way I once did. Might as well sit back and enjoy the ride!

Well I officially handed over the batteries to my scales to my husband this morning I can't take it any more! I have been meaning to do that for a week, but i kept postponing it, but after gaining a lb over night after weeks of barely loosing anything I've had enough!

I will buy myself a wrist pedometer on my way home from work and concentrating on upping my steps daily as goals instead and see if i can switch my concentration to that and see how long i can go without cracking my resolve to weigh in!

I am a revision from Lapband and I am a slow loser too. I have averaged 1.5 lbs a week, but it has stayed pretty consistent. I am not disappointed at all! I feel great, and since it has been slow but STEADY I know the weight will continue to come off. I think of it like the Turtle and the Hare.... I might not get to goal as fast as some, but I will still get there.

      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!
