I'm going crazy!



Recommended Posts

I am 5 months pre - Op and have been sitting at 201 to 203 for 3 weeks now!

I just want to hit 199!

Did anyone else stall as they got close to 199?

I am doing what I know to do.

Fluids are good, Protein is good.

I cycle my calories anywhere from 1200 to 1500.

Gah!

Why couldn't I have stalled at 198? Lol

Am I going to start losing again or will I be stuck for a while?

It's amazing how the scale knows and just mocks us, right? It did that to me too. I stayed off the scale for 3 weeks when that happened to me, and when I got back on it was at 196 or something.

Sometimes going crazy can be a short trip. Just hang around here and ask questions.

Is there anything else you can change up? Exercise, the fats you eat, the number of carbs? You could still be losing inches and not weight as your body adjusts.

Early in the piece I found I was not really what would be classed as 'hungry' [still the case] so cut back what I was eating.

Unfortunately not eating caused my the mind/body to think it was going into diet/starvation mode & weight loss just stalled, until I started eating reasonably & regularly. Only then did weight loss re-commence.

My Doctor said there was no need to count carbs or calories/points etc. Just eat what you liked, until I felt satisfied.

      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!
