Hello dear! I had my surgery on the 3rd and today I am 12 pounds down. I'm a slow loser and couldn't really believe it. So u will be fine! All will go well and u will notice inches melting away. This surgery was well worth it! :-) Good luck on ur new journey

If u fail to plan, u plan to fail.

That's great! I also had surgery on the 3rd but am down about 6 lbs (but am on TOM so that might be causing Water retention). Glad you came out the other side ok!

@@TamaraRae - it varies so DON'T compare and get frustrated. I lost 21lbs about a month out. Measure yourself NOW @1cutiejulie mentioned inches will not necessarily show up on the scale. Those are NSVs!

@@TamaraRae @@jane13 is right. You shouldn't compare to others. But feel free to compare to me.....at that 6 week mark I was down 17 pounds. Next time I weighed at 10 weeks I was still down the same 17 pounds. Now check out my ticker....over 100% excess weight loss and holding strong for over a year and a half. That's why I say your rate of loss has nothing to do with long term success. The NSVs are way more fun to log than numbers anyways!

I had my 9 day post-op visit and found I had lost 13lbs. Shocked me, but I was thrilled.

I lost almost 40 in the first month and another 10 the second. I'm 4 lbs away from 50lbs post op... But I'm also 70lbs down from my highest point. I keep hitting plateaus but then slowly break through them. I'm okay with that and still hope to lose another 60 over the next few months.

Warmer weather means more walking and a steady schedule allows me gym time now.

8 weeks post op, and I lost 28.6 Ibs (13 kgs)

Had a stall in week 3-4, then started losing again.

My few NSVs: I can cross my legs again, I fit into my few tops, my skirts are loser, and I can wear my favourite watch again.

People started complimenting me :)

I am starting to feel much, much better.

Good luck with your surgery @@TamaraRae

      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!
