I fluctuate up & down within 2 lbs on a regular basis ... especially if I am in the middle of a stall. It could be Water, it could be your body adjusting, it could be the scale playing terrible, horrible tricks on you. ;) Seriously though, it happens to me all the time.

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience stalls and slow downs. Almost everyone experiences a stall about three weeks after surgery.

Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your fluids and Protein, and stay off the scale.

Says who?!?! Your body, your journey. Everyone is different. I have friends who were sleeved and my weight loss was completely different than theirs. I have a TON of stalls, one after another after another. My % lost is different than theirs was. But then again, my body is different than theirs, my lifestyle is different than theirs, and my expectations and effort is different than theirs.

Follow your program, get plenty of Water and Protein and exercise as much as you are able. Spend some time rediscovering yourself & the things you like to do. As @@Inner Surfer Girl said, stay off the scale a bit and shift your focus. It will all come in time.

I am 7 weeks out and only 35 pound down. Stay off the scale it is your WORST enemy. I do weekly weigh ins, and it is so much better.

Ty ladies for ur input i will get into action and stay off scale

Definitely try to not weigh yourself more than once a week for the first 5 months I weighted myself every Monday morning. Recently I started weighing myself more often and it's really just a roller coaster through the week. Enough to make me crazy when I went up overnight, in the end by the time Monday rolls around I'm usually showing a lose for the week (every once in a while I stayed the same).

      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!
