I started my prediet mid April and had my surgery on May 2nd. I am down close to 54 lbs and I am losing an average of over a lb a day. I'm 6'0" and was 312lbs at the start of this journey. My target is to lose a little over 100lbs. I have been exercising regularly and eating very clean following my program exactly as my doctor asked me to. I'm not complaining but it seems like it's coming off too fast at this point.. is this normal?

I think your fine. I've lost 100lbs in a little less than 4 months and my doctors are very pleased with the loss.

I've lost 27 lbs in 11 days. But hey, I'm not mad at it!

I lost 100lbs in 5 months and none of the doctors/surgeons were concerned. The only time you need to worry about it is if it's because you physically can't eat (vomiting, nausea, etc), are an alcoholic, drug addict or have an eating disorder. According to my surgeon, that is!

Well, I jinxed myself. I've been in a stall for 5 days. That's what I get for being too optimistic! :)

      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!
