Hi y'all...

I had a fill a 3 weeks ago and boy can I feel it. I can barley eat anything. Maybe a 1/2 of food and I'm full and I get the hiccups. I drink Water all day long and make good food choices. Here's the thing....I haven't lost a damn pound in 2 weeks. I'm so frustrated and don't understand how this is at all possibe. This is the worst i've felt since I had the surgery 8 months ago. I'm stressing about this day and night. I called my doc and they said they'd like to see me for an apt and if i'm doing eveything I say I am I should be loosing weight. So anyone out there been through this? Why am I not dropping the pounds and what do I need to change? Please help I feel like a failure. :help:

Hi Ryan, Are you tracking your calories? I can honestly tell you I was too tight and didn't lose an ounce of weight because of it. If you don't get in enough calories you won't lose either, your metabolism will shut down. Track your calorie intake on SparkPeople.com or another website if you find it easier. Are you meeting with a nurtionist regularly too? They have lots of suggestions and helpful hints that help us along on our path. You're not alone that's for sure. Others have gone and are going through what you are. Work closely with your surgeon, keep track of your intake and definately see a nutrionist :o Good 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.

      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!
