Almost week three



Recommended Posts

On Wednesday I will be post op 3 weeks. I'm worried I'm not lossing enough weight. I've been at the same weight for almost a week. I just don't understand. I've been weighting myself daily which isn't every helpful at least that's what I've been told. I know it's not going to be coming off like magic, but I just thought I would see more results. My doctor has told me not to stress about it yet. But I read all these past about people losing so much

I am almost a month post op, I will be on the 19th and I've weighed exactly the same since November 2nd, so for two weeks now the scale hasn't moved at all. Its really frustrating. I've been doing my best to get all my calories and all my Protein and all my Water and I've been walking 5 days a week and doing extras on the weekends. I don't see how I can't be losing but the scale sure isn't telling me so. SIGH! I feel your pain.

It's just disappointing, I know it's not a magical surgery where everything disappears... but it's hard to keep doing all of the requirements because of the surgery and to feel like it's for nothing. I had foot surgery before this so it's been limiting my endurance for exercise. Before my foot I was at the gym all the time, walking at least 10,000 steps. So it could be a reason I feel so disappointed in it all. But my doctor told me not to worry until after the 6 week mark. I hope my body gets it together.

I've been off of work for the last 2 months, and kinda hid this surgery behind my foot surgery. Well I have to go back to work soon. I haven't told anyone at work about it. 2 people from work know and that's because we're friends outside of work. Did you tell people about the surgery?

Yes, you are at the three week mark so a stall is pretty inevitable at this point.

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process. If you are going to lose a significant amount of weight, you will experience stalls.

Just focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids, taking your Vitamins and supplements as directed, and exercising.

If the numbers on the scale are going to dictate how you feel, then STAY OFF THE scale.< /p>

Embrace the Stall!

      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.

        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!
