I have been sick a lot. I was positive for the H. Pylori bacteria that grows in your stomach so that's been had me sick a lot. It has its days.... sometimes I feel good. Sometimes I want to break down and cry.

Oh you poor thing! I had that a few years ago and it lasted a long time. Terrible. I hope you are cured of it very soon and be kind to your poor tummy. How awful to have had bariatric surgery and then have H. Pylori!

Feel better real soon. Have they talked to you about taking a probiotic? I highly recommend. I've been on them for years now and they are a Godsend!

Good job! I'm 4 weeks out. I lost 19lbs the first 2 weeks and I seem to have stalled. I've literally lost nothing the last 2 weeks since I started on soft foods. Any suggestions on how to get it started again? I feel like I'm behind and did this all for nothing. I started at 233 and I'm now at 214. I get all of my Protein in and workout in the evenings walking, riding my bike and lift small weights.

I feel the same way! But, in reading many of the posts here prior to surgery I know that there are stalls along the way. Many of the people have said to just keep doing what you know is right and follow the plan. You will get over the stall and suddenly begin losing weight again.

Just keep doing what you are doing. That's all we can do at this point right?

I stalled at 2 weeks and I had to take a deulcolax to jump start it again.

If you are going to do a probiotic again, might I suggest the Walmart Brand Equate? It is the same as Align but about $20 cheaper. I just purchased 42 pills for just under $25.00. That is the cheapest I've found and it works wonderful.

I think I just had a stall between week 2 and week 3, but fortunately I didn't need dolcolax to jump start it again. My body was able to do that all on its own (I credit the probiotic).

Thank you.. I am going to look for that.

      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!
