Amazing progress!

Don't get discouraged when you hit a stall here soon. They usually happen around 3-6 weeks post op. It will just be your bodies way of taking a break after your amazing loss in such a short time.

How long does that usually last?

That's wonderful. I'm one who gained weight after surgery. Fifteen pounds! I'm one week out and have lost 9 of that. I'm not letting myself get depressed, but your great success gives me hope. Thanks for sharing.

Depends. One week, maybe 3. The thing about those pesky stalls is they may be annoying, but they are just part of the whole process. And the scale may not be moving, but you'll probably still be losing inches, so take measurements!

Yes, do that for sure! You'll be happy you did! It's really nice to have pictures and measurements to compare and see how far you've come. You'll be amazed the difference just a few weeks makes :) Imagine looking back on them a year from now!

      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!
