My first post op weigh in..



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on the 7/11 and was supposed to have my post op on 7/19 but didn't make it cuz I ended up back in hospital.. But long story short I had it today so a little over two weeks.. But I'm down 27lbs.. I notice it in my legs and arms and face but barely in my stomach area even tho I notice it in the way my clothes fit.. Regardless I'm so happy I made the right decision!! Thanks everyone on here for helping me with my journey along the way!!

5 days out and I haven't lost one single pound. I'm so discouraged. And yes I'm drinking my required Protein and Fluid intake.

Don't get discouraged. I did not start losing for a good 6 days. You are so bloated from surgery. I'm now 4 weeks out and have lost 16+ lbs. I was lower BMI so the loss is s bit slower. I also hit a 2-3 week stall. It's very real. This process is definitely not easy and your body has to heal first! You will do good. Just keep at it.

Seems unfair but totally normal! The weight will start to fall off very shortly. I too was discouraged the first couple weeks but I still ended up losing over 35lbs in the first month. Hang in there and relax. Follow your prescribed plan and it will pay off.

Don't give up. My body goes through these spells if staying still and even gaining a pound or too. Then after a week bam a big weight loss. Don't give up and never be afraid to ask questions. Best of luck.

      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!
